"I cannot sing the praises of Jose and his team enough. I purchased a new home that had carpeting everywhere and hired J & J Elite Carpentry Inc to replace with wood floors. They did an AMAZING job as you can see from the pictures. J&J even took care of replacing a few closet doors. Jose and his team are very friendly, knowledgable, patient, responsive, on time and professional. They communicate and are transparent with you every step of the way and get the job done with such great detail and care. They also specialize in other areas so I plan to hire them for other home repair needs."

"We were extremely happy having Wilber's Painting to do the work. The staffs are courteous, the carpenters and painters are very professional and take the time to make sure everything is done correctly and to the highest level. For the paint job it is just superb. They finished it much faster than I expected but still looks fantastic, and definitely way much better than I do it myself. Also I am glad they used primers and paints that don't have a strong smell as we were living in the house while the work was being performed. Now we are considering to have the exterior to be painted as well, and for sure we will hire Wilber's Painting."

"Rich and his crew were friendly and professional. They estimated the time and cost and stuck to both. They explained to us what process steps they would have to go through to do the job and then did the work according to our agreement. Both the deck and the interior areas they painted now look better than they have in years. The deck especially took a lot of work as it was in pretty bad shape before their work on it."

"It went really really good. I have an old house. It was built in the 1700's. Santo is a master carpenter and did a great job. The kitchen, the cabinets, sheetrock, spackling, woodwork, moulding, maple floors,were all done professionally and came out great. He worked very patiently with me and my wife. I would use him again and recommend his service. I already plan on using him on my next project, just saving money."

"When first meeting them, I was very impressed. I had to have work done on my shed. New roof, frame and a ramp. They never criticized that it was a small job. They gave me a great price and came to do the job as promised two days after meeting them. They (Tony, Eric and Jimmy) are perfectionists and came on time. They cleaned up so good, you wouldn t even have known there was work done. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. I actually took extra business cards to recommend them to my neighbors and friends. They are my contractors for life!!"

"Our carpenter was prompt, courteous and very neat. He did exactly what he said he would and his estimate was almost spot on. The work took place over a couple of days and scheduling was very easy even during their busy time"

"Had an old deck in my backyard which was several decades old and while it still looked good had clearly become dangerous due to extensive rotting of most of the deck posts as well as some steps. Bryan came over and discussed all the options to deal with the issues I identified and sent a team of three workers over a couple of weeks later to complete the renovation. Replaced all the rotted decking with new cedar but during their work also discovered other issues with the deck structure I had not noticed. This caused the crew to have to put in an extra day of work and also added somewhat to the project's total cost. Was disappointed about the overage in the project cost but Bryan and the crew showed me where other parts of the decking clearly were deteriorated and needed to be replaced to insure both the stability and safety of the project. All in all am completed happy with the way everything worked out and the quality of the workmanship and carpentry skills evident in the finished project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
