"Fratto Home Improvement and Repair has been our go-to general contractor for several years. Mr. Fratto's work ethic, professionalism, skill level, and punctuality can only be matched by his warm and friendly personality, and a natural talent for customer service, which make him a pleasure to work with. We live in a pre-war building the NYC metropolitan area, and our bathroom renovation involved complete gutting, as well as dealing with many quirky elements often found in older buildings. Mr. Fratto guided us through the entire project from the initial fixture and material choices to the final decorative touches. He stayed within the planned budget and made sure that we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. It is also important to note that the bathroom in question is the only one in our home, yet because of Mr. Fratto's careful planning and methodical approach, we were able to continue using it through the entire project. We feel very comfortable recommending Fratto Home Improvement and repair to anyone interested in a bathroom renovation, kitchen renovation, or any other home improvement project."

"From our first meeting with Dave to the completion of the job, Westbrook exceeded all of our expectations. Dave was in constant communication with us about everything from acquiring materials to what would be done on any given day. In the past we’ve been very disappointed with the lack of communication from other contractors, but with Dave we felt informed and updated at all times. Whenever I reached out with a question he was quick to get back to me, even on a weekend. His carpenters, Joe and Matt are seriously talented dudes and did an incredible job building our deck. They kept a very clean worksite and tidied up at the end of everyday. When the time comes for our next home improvement project, I won’t be getting a second estimate/opinion, I’ll be calling Dave to do the work without a doubt."

"Michael and his co-worker were prompt, neat, respectful of our property, took the time to do all necessary prep work, and professional. They did carpentry work as well as painting. They showed up on time and completed the job quickly. They did excellent work. Michael returns phone calls, visited the site, gave a prompt proposal and gave us a reasonable start date. These are qualities that are hard to find! Highly recommend."

"We had a wonderful experience with Fabian who replaced our shower and sink in the bathroom (as well as building BEAUTIFUL shelves) and he replaced our screen door. He was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. He made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. No more worrying about finding a great contractor - we've found him!"

"If you're looking to remodel, hire Bud at Above & Beyond Contracting! Him and his crew were reliable, trustworthy, friendly and easy to work with. His quote was by far the most detailed & fair I received. If there was an issue, he put your mind at ease and took care of it. He recommended details I didn't even think of and it elevated the remodel & I love it. I am so happy with my renovation and couldn't be happier that I went with Above & Beyond Contracting."

Customers say: Quick response

"First I was planning to power-wash and stain the deck, but Orlando talked me into power-wash the whole house and paint as well. The price was reasonable. Even though the work was postponed due to the rain, Orlando called and emailed constantly to give me their schedule. They exchanged the top part of the deck and repaired here and there, and I find their carpentry skills are excellent. I definitely will ask him to do something around the house in the future."

"Tassio and his crew were excellent and I would recommend them to anyone in need of his services. He replaced a portion of my home's siding, plywood, insulation and painted the house. I intend to have his team back to better maintain my home in the future and I am thankful of the quality of their work given my home's issues. I originally hired Tassio to replace some damaged/warped wood siding though upon removal, it was clear the plywood underneath was rotten and insulation moldy from water intrusion. He constantly updated me with pictures of the impacted walls and presented me with options to remediate with no pressure on any specific course of action. The quality of Tassio's work is without a doubt better than that of the house's original developer. Lastly, Tassio's team was friendly and cleaned up their work area each night."

"Very thorough and professional. Repairs were done to perfection and they kept the work areas clean. Liked their work so much that I have hired them to finish a bathroom renovation that was started by another company and was never completed by them."

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. 

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
