"We started out with a budget just for the kitchen to repaint the kitchen cabinets, replace the flooring with porcelain tiles, redo the peninsula, use quartz for the counter tops, add recess lighting, and center the lighting fan. Into the job, based on Harvey's excellent advice, we decided to get new kitchen cabinets, have Harvey and his team build storage cabinets above the new cabinets instead of having a soffit built in that open space. We also had a pantry rebuilt by Harvey and his team as well. Lastly we had the peninsula changed to an island with cabinets added underneath as well. Also, we decided to redo the small (powder) bathroom on the main floor. Harvey and his team were awesome. He was very patient in allowing us to make changes to the original plans that turned out quite outstanding. His team always showed up early for work. The quality of the work was simply outstanding. Instead of half doing things like what we got with the Home Depot contractors in years prior, Harvey and his team took things back to the studs and made sure the things were built the right way. I now feel very confident about what is behind the walls and how the work was done. I will attached pictures of the kitchen and bathroom by next week. We are still putting things back into the new cabinets now and etc. We are extremely happy with the work Harvey and his team did. We intend to use them for a few other projects in the future. If you're really thinking about having work done on your home, I would highly recommend that you speak with Harvey to have his team come to do an amazing job for you as well. He will work with you on to provide competitive pricing. In the end it's all about quality work that you can feel great about. We feel great!!!!!!! :)"

"Summary: Bryan did an excellent job building a metal roof over an existing concrete slab in my backyard. I am very happy with the work that he did. In fact I have received compliments from three different neighbors, including one that I had never met before but saw the work being done from the street and wanted to take a look because he wanted to do something similar with his home. I have already recommended him to a friend, who decided to go with Bryan for a project. And I would hire Bryan again for future work. More Detailed Review: I have an existing concrete slab in my backyard that I wanted to build a roof over. Bryan was one of four contractors I interviewed for the project. I decided to go with Bryan because I liked that he was very straight forward and I felt his quote was fair and reasonable. My township requires that either the homeowner submit drawings for the project or that an architect be hired. I am not an engineer and I have never worked construction before. Although all of the contractors recommended that I submit my own drawings because it was a straightforward project and I could save myself several hundred dollars, Bryan was the only one that offered to help me with them, which he did. And this was before I even agreed to hire him. As a new homeowner and somebody who has heard one too many stories of home improvement projects gone wrong, I appreciated the fact that Bryan was very patient and always answered any questions or concerns that I had. In addition, I was always able to get a hold of him by phone or email. And once work had begun, he checked in with me at different stages of the project to make sure that I was satisfied with the progress so far. The start date was delayed a couple of times because of all the bad weather that we had. However, Bryan was very good about keeping me informed during this time and I was always able to get a hold of him when I wanted an update on things. When the project did begin, I was very pleased with how smoothly the work progressed and how everything was completed in a timely fashion. The footings were dug and inspected within a couple of days. Once the footings passed inspection, the frame was put up several days later. After the framing passed inspection, the roof was built and the trim was quickly put up. It is clear that when you hire Bryan to do a job, your project is his priority until it is completed. And I was pleased with how his crew kept the work area clean and professional every day after the day was done. As I mentioned, two of my immediate neighbors saw the work that had been done and were very complimentary of it. This includes my neighbor who has personally done a lot of home renovations on his own house. I also had a neighbor from the next street over stop by and ask to take a look at the work (at this time only the frame had been built) because he wanted to do something similar in his backyard. He was also very impressed with the quality of the work. I am very happy with the work that Bryan did and how professional and reliable he was during the whole process. And I highly recommend him."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
