"They were very professional. Arrived on time, completed the work in two days as promised. The price was reasonable and they cleaned up everything. The two men were very friendly. Go on their website and see before and after pictures of the deck. We are very pleased and would hire them for our next job. William and Virginia Potts of Centereach"

Customers say: True professional

"Nick and Andre from Raen Construction repaired my wood deck today and power washed my fence. They were professional and efficient, they communicated with me, as we had to wait for a few days of no rain to sand the deck. They replaced 6 boards and stained and sealed, and it looks awesome. I highly recommend them and I plan to use them again for more work that needs to be done in my home."

"SwiftBuild Construction replaced my roof and gutters as well as repaired some exterior woodwork. The experience was professional, no new upcharges came up that were not discussed at the time of the contract, if some issues were found they completed the work without any adjustments to the price. The site was cleaned up completely, their supervisors were on site all the time to answer any questions. Prices were competitive and the work schedule was followed closely. Completely satisfied."

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
