"I got several quotes to replace the deck on my house. The owner of the company was extremely responsive, the value was amazing, and the quality of the build was better than Iâ ve ever seen on any deck. I would absolutely use this contractor not only for decks, but for other projects as well."

"I have lived in Manhattan for 20 years. For us who understand, living in a walk up, which I do, or even if you don t, it is difficult to find phenomenal contractors. These guys are the best I have ever dealt with. Aidan, the owner, assures everything is top notch. They are incredibly detailed and assure everything is protected and spotless when they are through. Highly recommended. This is the only time I have ever wrote a recommendation in my life, for anything, if that puts this into perspective."

"Sharif Mohamed and his crew did exactly what they said and did it perfectly. My new porch is cute, sturdy, and functional. It’s so nice to work with a polite, timely, and responsible contractor who does quality work. I will be having them back to replace the front porch next. Well done."

"Hector and his crew were wonderful! They did everything from demo to the full remodel. Very communicative and willing to add on smaller projects (new front & side doors and steps)while still completing the interior. Will be using again for future projects."

"I could not recommend Harold's Enterprises more highly. I reached out to Harold based on his listing on Angie's List before I bought my home--free of charge, he took a look at the roof on a property I was considering buying--giving me an estimate and advice. His help led me to find that the sellers were dishonest about the condition of and work done on their roof, and I purchased a different property in Hudson, NY. My home is a 1927 Craftsman that needed quite a bit of work. I hired Harold based on his honesty and responsiveness in helping me evaluate the first property. True to form, his estimate and ultimate cost to repaint the entire interior, repair and sheetrock floors and ceilings, refinish and replace hardwood floors, completely remodel a bathroom, rewire and install light fixtures, match original woodworking, install cabinetry, windows, and appliances, and even assist with installing new furniture, were more than reasonable. Better yet, the quality of his work was of the highest caliber. He has restored and improved a lovely home, and I am so thankful! I have to say that most of all, I am so happy with Harold's professionalism and diligence. Not every contractor is known for staying on the job and completing it on time. Especially in my situation, where I am a single woman trying to restore a second home when I live out of state--I assumed I would have difficulty in getting any contractor to be present and complete the job on time. However, this was never a problem. Harold was always there, was immediately responsive, and never slacked off when I wasn't there. I plan to work with Harold as much as possible in the future as I continue to improve my Hudson home. I recommend him very highly."

"They are very personable. They care very much about how your job will turn out. When I asked for an estimete, they gave about half the price of one from the compitition, which they knew nothing of. I have since hired them again and plan to call them soon for more jobs. They also kept in close contact with me for scheduling and were on the job when agreed. They do a great job!."

My house is left clean and he even move the furniture back into place at the repairs are made. Without a doubt The best experience I’ve ever had with any contractor."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

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

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.
