"This company tore down our 35 year old deck and rebuilt for us. We loved our new composite upper deck so much we hired him to deconstruct and reinforce our lower deck for a new hot tub. He also built two sets of stairs and did a beautiful job on our railings. He fit us into his schedule for pending delivery of new hot tub. His crew was great too. They also cleaned up the yard like new. His prices were fair and reasonable. We plan on hiring him for more work in the future and will always recommend. You wonâ t regret it."

"Hired Vin to jack up and level our deck frame. He was very responsive, friendly and was able to get the job done ahead of time. He recommended additional supports and installed them and came in right on budget. Would definitely hire him again for future work."

"Ed repaired the staircase newel posts, balusters and railings taking great care to preserve the wood finishes. He was able identify the carpentry errors and safety issues in the work left undone by the previous contractor. Without disparaging the previous contractor, he professionally pointed out what needed to be done and provided detailed steps to complete the project with a timeline for completion. All work was completed as described. We are very impressed with Ed?s carpentry work, attention to safety details and the cost of the project which was done in 2 days. We definitely recommend him if you looking for a personable professional!"

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.

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. 

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
