Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals.

"Foxtail Builders turned my kitchen into the centerpiece of my home, blending functionality with beauty in a way that exceeded every expectation. From the very first meeting, their team listened closely to what I wanted and then elevated my vision with thoughtful design recommendations and clever solutions I would never have considered. The craftsmanship speaks for itself—cabinets installed perfectly, countertops finished with care, and every detail executed with precision. The process itself was just as impressive as the final product; communication was seamless, timelines were honored, and I always felt like my project was their top priority. While my kitchen remodel was the focus, I quickly realized they have the capability to take on every part of a home. Bathrooms, basements, full-scale renovations, or even exterior work—their breadth of skill is remarkable. Foxtail Builders is that rare company that combines high-quality construction with a personal touch; couldn’t be happier"

John has over 35 years in high-end general contracting and carpentry. He has been in business on his own for nearly 25 years under the John Michaels Contracting and iRenovate names with dozens of clients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey, specializing in kitchen and bathroom remodeling, brownstone renovation / restoration, structural repairs, window and door replacement and deck construction/repair. Your home is your most important asset. It is the place where your children take their first steps, where you have birthday parties and graduations, New Years and Independence Day celebrations. Your home is also a reflection of you, your personality and your aspirations. At John Michaels Contracting, we look to partner with homeowners rather than working for them. John will meet with you and your family, take the time to understand both your goals and your budget and create a personalized plan that is appropriate for you.

"I hired John Michael Contracting to remodel a home I purchased and it needed a new kitchen, 3 baths, flooring and refacing of walls. John was extremely efficient and professional. His crew was very clean and from the demo to the finish, John made sure to use only high quality material while always giving me options that were in line with my budget. I highly recommend John for any project. He is fair and he completed the job within the time I needed it completed. He and his crew was always at the house on time."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
