"Mike and crew(Mike Jr lol, Anthony and Andrew). What can I say? Not enough. The moment these guys showed up they displayed a polished level of professionalism and work ethic. Not to mention that their just one **** of a bunch of great guys. Extraordinarly courteous and respectful. They didnt waste any time on day one tearing the old deck down. And, man, are these guys neat and organized. They got right into building our new deck, which took only a few days. These guys even worked through the rain. The finished deck was beyond my and my wife's expectations. Very impressive. Mike the boss led the charge. We knew from the moment we met him, that this man knows his craft, and knows it well. We had checked out two other companies prior, but there was something not quite right. Too expensive and too many loopholes. We were left more confused and disappointed than before we started. Mike, on the other hand, clarified everything. Everything was transparent. He laid out what we were going to get, and the price was absolutely fair. No strings attached, which was the impression we were getting from the other guys. And Mike seems to have all the bases covered when it comes to home improvement. He did some electrical work for us, even while the deck was being built. We are already discussing other projects around our home that need to be taken care of. At this point, there is no need to even look anywhere else. Mike does it all. We already recommended him out to friends and family, and we highly recommend him to you. 10 stars!!"

"It is an absolute pleasure to work with them. We recently painted the new building of our project and all the doors of the building. Swifthand Painting Company sent their team on time and quickly inspected the building and did a great job. We are glad to have found them! We will use Swifthand Painting again in the future."

"I asked for a custom built desktop built to exacting specs out of uncommon materials and detailed shaping. Mike at 3A9 Designs was extremely helpful, communicative, and friendly. He worked very closely with me to ensure that all the details matched my vision and anticipated solutions to problems I failed to consider. The final product is a piece of furniture that will last me a lifetime. I am satisfied beyond all expectations with this desktop."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.

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. 

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
