"I hired Tim to fix a banister and put up various shelving and picture frames in my home. He was prompt, easy to work with and did a fantastic job. His prices were very fair and reasonable for the excellent work that he did and I will be sure to hire him in the future for any upcoming projects."

"The job went well, Wilson from Build N Bolt Construction was professional, he brought samples of different crown molding and he explained in detail about the installation of the molding. On day of the job he and his worker arrived on time with all material need. They were neat, clean and they clean up after themselves. I was very please with the work and I would use them again"

"This job--which I initially thought required complete reupholstery--turned into onsite repairs. Eli at ReUpholstery NYC asked for photos of the chairs, which led him to recognize that one person could rework the opened areas. We agreed on what I believe was a fair price and set a date and time. Eddie came promptly with the necessary tools and completed everything in about 2 hours time. I was very pleased with the entire experience, from beginning to end, and would highly recommend this company. THANKS!"

"Mack Rubio and his team are awesome. My front porch was beginning to sag on one corner and it was causing my vinyl siding to bow out. My home also needed to be pressure washed. Mack is very knowledgeable and he got his level out and showed me that the left side of my porch was two inches lower than the right side. I knew my left column was rotting but I was not sure about the wooden supports I could not see beneath the decking boards. Mack assessed the situation and advised pouring concrete footers and replacing only the columns and supports that needed to be replaced on the porch. His quote was very reasonable and I didn't hesitate to give Handymack Services the work. Mack and his team were on time, got right to work, and I was truly amazed at all that got accomplished while I was at work. When I got home, Mack took the time to explain what remained to be done and his schedule for finishing the project. Mack's work is quality and he stated more than once that he wanted to make sure I was happy. Honestly, I am way beyond happy because I have never contracted with anyone who has been as thorough, nor who worked as quickly as Mack. My porch looks great, my siding is no longer bowed out, and the pressure washing made my twelve year old siding look new. I was so impressed I immediately hired him to repair a door frame, stain my back deck, and replace warped deck boards. I will definitely be giving Handymack Services my business in the future because they value me as a customer and I value their honesty, promptness, and attention to detail."

"PBRIGHT and Ezequiel were outstanding! From the initial conversation through completion they were a pleasure to work with. I recommended them to two other people including my co-op board president. I trusted Ezequiel and the team and they delivered 100%. It was my first time doing any sort of renovation work and they made it easy and simple. Painting, plaster work, fixing base boards, installing lights and plumbing- they did it all at a very fair price and the work was impeccable"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
