"Very friendly and efficient ð Gave me a free estimate and picked up all materials for free to save me a delivery fee. DW Construction fixed my decking boards that were rotted, fixed my handrails, and rebuilt my steps to ensure my safety and my families as well. I highly recommend him and will be hiring him again for future projects."

"I had a very positive experience with Rost Construction this summer. During the heavy July Rains, our large skylight began leaking. I needed to get the skylight repaired as soon as possible, but was having trouble getting contractors to return my call. One contractor did come out and measured the skylight, but did not offer to correct the immediate situation until I would commit to his bid. I then called Rost construction. Jakob Rost answered the call himself and asked fact finding questions. Jakob sent out one of his associates, Jack, the next morning. After an initial review, Jack returned and found an old nail in the skylight flashing. He was able to make the repair without changing out the skylight. Of all the contractors I contacted (at least five), Rost construction was the only company that displayed a sense of urgency and a high level of competence. It is without hesitation that I recommend Rost construction for your project"

"They did an amazing job. We have the most beautiful kitchen, family room and dining room. They were very conscientious about doing the job right. We had some serious structural issues from the last contractors but they corrected all the issues and we are very pleased with the outcome. They were always on time, very honest about everything we were dealing with and concerned that everything was done to our liking. From our experience this is a company of high standards and integrity."

"Everything is going great! I met with John, Stephen & Sabrina multiple times and their vision and understanding is always aligned with mine. They really make you their #1 priority which to me is really important. Ive hired other contractors that were extremely unprofessional and put other projects between and ahead of mine even though Id been under contract prior to them. I feel confident with Atlas James and excited to finally have found real professionals to get our projects done!"

"I contacted Jimmy for a roof estimate before closing on the house.
Jimmy sent me back the estimate in a timely manner which helped me get the proper credit.
After closing, I interviewed a few other contractors and decided to go with Jimmy because I felt comfortable 
with the way he communicated his recommendations and his promptness.
As with any job, there were a few things that came up during the renovation but I must say, the level of communication was 
everything I could ask for.  
I was especially glad I picked Jimmy because I reside in NYC (3 hours away) and couldn't be present all the time.  Needless to say,  good communication was very important.
Jimmy finished the job within the time frame promised.   I asked him to do a couple of other things after completion 
and he finished those in time for my new tenants move date.
Though I didn't gave Jimmy a specific budget.  He did meet my expectations with regard to the budget I set for myself.
Overall, I am very happy with the results and will most definitely contact him first for any future jobs."

"We were so pleased with the work that Dan and his crew did on the drainage around our house and electrical work. His price was fair, he was honest and he spent the extra time needed to "get the job right!". We highly recommend Dan and look forward to hiring him again for future projects. Dan's price never changed, even though the workload did! Dan and his team have a very busy schedule and it may take time to get the work done, but it is totally worth the wait and you really need to consider the quality of a contractor that may be available immediately! Call Dan and have him to your work!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
