"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."

"Touched by God is a very professional business with highly skilled carpenters. The work they did to install custom molding, trim, door casings, and picture frames really transformed our home. What was a 20 year old home is now a beautifully updated home. Diego and his team really worked with us to achieve everything we wanted and then some â - all within committed timeframes."

"D’s Fencing, LLC was professional. He replaced a wood stockade fence with vinyl privacy fence to be meet an existing vinyl fence. The labor went smoothly despite some pandemic shutdown delays. Mr Williams attention to detail is impeccable. He adjoined the new vinyl to the old vinyl and it looks amazing. I am highly satisfied. I would recommend highly."

"Santo did such a beautiful and professional job. He remodeled our Powder Room by removing the old vanity and flooring. He installed a sink and tiled the floor. He painted, added molding and baseboards, repurposed a light by adding it to the powder room. He demolished our kitchen and then remodeled it so beautifully. He removed soffits that served no purpose, added new cabinets, added beautiful storage cabinets, put in molding, did custom wood work around our refrigerator so that the refrigerator blends in with the woodwork around it. He also added a lovely backsplash and painted. He then painted our first floor which consists of our living room, dining room, and hallway leading to our front door. He re-did the molding that we had initially done. He also put molding in our hallway that was not previously there. He then remodeled our basement. He put in walls, baseboards, doors, flooring, ceiling, column covers , he literally recreated the staircase that leads to the basement, and he painted. He worked with us by helping us pick the best cabinets and accessories needed for the kitchen. He was there with us when we were picking the new powder room sink and tile and fixtures. He went to the flooring stores with us so that we made sure to pick the best products for the basement. He also has many contacts and would go and pick up items needed to finish the job that we couldn't find in the main home stores. I can't say enough about Santo. He is professional and pleasant to work with. We have received so many compliments on his work from family and friends. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! Extremely Happy Customer, North Brunswick, NJ"

"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."

"Tim was prompt, professional & listened to my questions and answered my questions patiently. His knowledge of materials and costs helped me get this project done well & in my spending plan too. My decks are now in great shape, look better than they have for some time, since Dominion’s very skilled crew replaced worn decking and stained the deck and railings. Our family can really enjoy this special part of our home for years to come now!"

"I never thought I would ever write a positive review with contractors. Top Pros completely replaced my old wood deck with composite. The detail and customization of the job was impeccable. As a customer who pays extra attention to minor details I can honestly write this to say thank you to Eric for building my deck, he used quality materials even new wood to drop a dumpster on my driveway was shocking. Eric was always on time, went beyond my expectations and always backed up his work. Don't think twice hire Top Pros it will be hard to find the friendliest, amazing prices and quality work from a local contractor. This is a real review from a real customer who is never 100% satisfied!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
