"Philipâ s work is top notch. He has a great sense of design and layout. My project was a rather complicated design with different tile thicknesses that needed to be flush when completed. Heâ s a craftsman - itâ s obvious he takes great pride in his work and it shows in the final work product. Highly recommended."

"????? - BEST CONTRACTOR I am a big investor and own multiple properties in the Bronx, and I hired godinez for a full gut renovation of a 3-family house on Concord Ave.He is hands down one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. Amazing, reliable, experienced, and truly knows what he's doing. When we hit unexpected issues - which always happens in a full gut - he didn't get stuck, he found smart solutions on the spot.He has the right team, the right guys, they work FAST but the quality is still top. Communication was excellent the whole time, and his pricing is very fair and honest.If you want a contractor who gets the job done right, on time, with no headaches - this is your guy. Highly, highly recommended."

"Mike and his team at Prime Construction are 10/10! I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know. The quality of their workmanship, attention to detail, very fair pricing are absolutely outstanding. I received 3 estimates, none of which were even close to being reasonable to what Mike offered. He made my gym shed even BETTER than what I was expecting, and I have incredibly high standards when it comes to construction. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PRIME CONSTRUCTION!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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.
