"J&A carpentry showed up early ready to work! Jeff did the layout with precise measurements, dug holes and placed poles and panels seamlessly. He had all the equipment needed and more, ready for any hiccups to occur and tackle them. The job was finished within 6 hours when id expected it to be a few days worth of work. He meticulously cleaned the work areas, was kind, respectful, and walked me through all of what he was doing. He even removed the poles from my previous metal fence. Wonderful professionalism and would highly recommend."

"We recently had a new porch added to our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the construction crew was professional, efficient, and skilled. They took the time to listen to our ideas, offered helpful suggestions, and brought our vision to life. The team kept the worksite clean and communicated clearly throughout the entire project. The quality of work speaks for itself—our new porch is not only beautiful but also built to last. We've already received so many compliments from friends and neighbors! If you're looking for a reliable and talented construction crew, we highly recommend this team. They exceeded our expectations. Thank you again for helping us transform our home!"

"Ani and his brother were timely, communicative and sent updates when each piece of work was done. The old pool house old building had issues that were revealed as work progressed, and Ani gave me quotes for what each repair would cost. He also helped me pick tile, explain why a floor covering of tile would make more sense than wood in the house. He painted, replaced the roof, created a vent, and created a shutoff switch for the pipe so that a leak might not happen in the future. Above all, the project was completed on time within his estimates. In addition, he was very good to work with and together the project came together very well. He was clear and direct, which is how I like working with someone. I would recommend A&K construction and will definitely hire them again for future projects."

"We highly recommend "The Hired Hand" (formerly named B Squared Home Solutions). They made numerous repairs to our deck, and completely refinished it. The deck is 30 years old, and now looks as good as new. Also, they repaired a set of wooden stairs leading from outside into our basement. I thought they were beyond repair, but are now fully functional. They started the project on the date promised, kept us apprised of their progress, and finished the job on time and at the quoted cost. We are very pleased with the quality of their work, and plan to have them do future projects."

"Devon and his crew were professional, courteous and dedicated to providing the best quality of work. They showed up when promised and their work on spring clean up, mulching, trimming shrubs, edging, and tree removal left the property looking like a magazine photo for high end landscaping. We highly recommend Devon and his crew and will use them for all our future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
