"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 remove and replace with wood floors. They did an AMAZING job (wish I could add pictures here) 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."

"Wilber's painting always does first rate work!!! We have used them in the past to paint the exterior trim of our 100+ year old house. Because we were so happy with the job they did on our old house, we used them again for painting the interior of our new home. They do high quality work and are courteous, responsive and very professional. I highly recommend them and will use them again for future needs."

"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."

"If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! They did a GREAT job on the fence!!! Worker came on time and was here for 12 hours, and before he left he made sure everything was cleaned up, and it looked like no one was even here! And now I have a great looking fence!. I have used a number of contractors in and around my house over the years for various projects but I have never had one work as hard as they did. There were some tough tree roots they had to deal with, but it did not deter them!"

"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!!"

"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

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
