"Miguel quickly responded to our request, came over and took measurements, and provided us with a detailed estimate. He work was precise and very high quality. The finished product was excellent. I would recommend Miguel for any drywall or carpentry project."

"C.G. Construction and Landscaping services were great. I would definitely recommend this company for all of you carpentry needs. I had an outlet and new lights installed by a previous company but they didnâ t fix the cuts in the ceiling and walls. They fix the walls and ceiling where it now it looks like nothing was disturbed after those installations. They also installed ceiling fans in six rooms and new light switches in two rooms. They also installed an over hood fan in our kitchen. Thank you for your services and see you on the next job. Quincy J."

"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!"

"Tassio and his crew were very professional abs discovered some big issues with a water problem we were having with the entire back side of my homes. He discovered rotted wood, damaged plywood, structural beams and even a bit of mold. There was a lot of work that needed to be done and he sent pictures throughout the process to show me what the issue was and how he fixed it. The only thing I wish we discussed more up front was the cost of the additional work as it was more than I had budgeted for and caught me a bit off guard. Nevertheless, the job was large and the workmanship was excellent, I would highly recommend Tassio to anyone with carpentry or exterior repair work!"

"This is probably the best roofing company in New York. Our new roof on our building went on without a single issue. I would easily recommend them to other people looking for a roofer in the area. He was honest and right on schedule the entire time."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.
