Customers say: True professional

"Simply stated, the best possible carpentry service you can hire. In building a large deck off of the back of my house (project with a countless variables), Pat at Steadfast Carpentry worked to complete a design to my exact wants that will continue to impress everyone who sees it for decades. Pat demonstrated a deep knowledge and care for well-built and beautiful woodworking, and was able to exceed any expectations of build quality, cost, and aesthetics, whilst working safely and within the constraints of our town codes. I cannot overstate how friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and diligent he has been throughout the entire process. I am overjoyed with the final product, and can personally assure anyone looking for a carpenter that you have found the gold standard with Steadfast Carpentry. It is a true rarity to find the affordability, knowledge, and quality at this level."

"Replaced missing siding and painted foundation: Eric was very prompt in responding to my request for a quote. He came to my house on a Sunday to give me an estimate and was extremely flexible with working within my time frame. His price was very reasonable and fair. He would check in with me as the job progressed to review what had been done to ensure I was happy with the work. He and his team were very polite, friendly and eager to make sure we were pleased with the job. I would definitely use them again."

"Dear Eric, I am writing to express my utmost appreciation for the exceptional work you and your team have done in transforming our outdoor space. Your expertise and dedication to the project have truly made a significant impact, and I want to commend you for your outstanding services. First and foremost, I was impressed by the professionalism and punctuality of your team. They consistently arrived on time and were always ready to tackle the tasks at hand. This level of reliability is truly commendable, and it gave me peace of mind throughout the project. The work that your team accomplished was nothing short of remarkable. Installing the railroad ties around our driveway not only added a touch of elegance but also improved the overall curb appeal of our property. The precision and attention to detail in this task were evident, and it exceeded my expectations. Furthermore, the tree removal was a challenging endeavor, but your team handled it with expertise and care. Safety was a top priority, and the efficient removal of the old tree was executed flawlessly. Lastly, the refinishing of our old wooden deck was the highlight of the project. The transformation was incredible, and the deck now looks brand new. The quality of craftsmanship and the choice of materials showcased your team's dedication to delivering exceptional results. Eric, I want to express my gratitude for your hard work, professionalism, and the outstanding results you have achieved. It's rare to find a contractor who consistently exceeds expectations, and I can confidently say that I will be proud to hire your services for any future projects. You and your team have not only met but surpassed our expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship and reliability. Thank you once again for your excellent work. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to future collaborations. Best Regards, Sandeep Ingale"

"We had Supreme Pro Construction and his crew build our deck in our townhouse complex. Our deck was old and rotting. Supreme Pro Construction earned their name by doing a fabulous job reconstructing our deck in Trex. He was great with the building dept here in Wayne and submitted beautiful drawings for us. Supreme Pro Construction and his crew did a beautiful job. Start to finish and at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Supreme Pro Construction!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
