"Deck and Fence Contracting rebuilt our pool deck with modern, comfortable benches and replaced our backyard fence. The results are amazing, our yard feels like a relaxing retreat. The quality exceeded our expectations, and the price was well worth it. Even our neighbor hired them after seeing the transformation!"

"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."

"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."

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 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, 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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.
