"Michael and his co-worker were prompt, neat, respectful of our property, took the time to do all necessary prep work, and professional. They did carpentry work as well as painting. They showed up on time and completed the job quickly. They did excellent work. Michael returns phone calls, visited the site, gave a prompt proposal and gave us a reasonable start date. These are qualities that are hard to find! Highly recommend."

"We had a wonderful experience with Fabian who replaced our shower and sink in the bathroom (as well as building BEAUTIFUL shelves) and he replaced our screen door. He was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. He made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. No more worrying about finding a great contractor - we've found him!"

"Miguel was on time, conscientious, and did great work. They didn't nickel-and-dime, and it seemed like a very reasonable price compared to other contractors. I was very happy and would hire Rivertowns again for roofing work, and would recommend them to others without reservation."

"I had the pleasure of working with Broadway Residential Contracting (BRC), specifically with Peter and his team, for several weeks on several projects, including a bathroom remodel. I was extremely impressed with Peter and his team's work ethic and professionalism throughout the process. They showed up every day as promised, were always on time, and were extremely clean and communicative. Peter worked through any punch list items we discussed, and the job was done professionally, on time, and on budget. My wife and I are thrilled with how our bathroom turned out and have continued to work with Peter and his team on multiple projects since then. He is a consummate professional and a skilled craftsman. He helped us turn a house full of boxes into a fantastic bathroom! He offered us options and solutions throughout the project and was always available to address any unexpected home emergencies that arose, showing up within hours to help manage the situation. I highly recommend Broadway Residential Contracting for any project and will continue to use them for my home improvement projects. They are reliable, professional, and deliver high-quality work. Their availability and quick response time in emergency situations is a huge plus!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
