"I am happy to recommend ReupholsteryNYC. I dealt with Eli and it was a pleasure. I sent him pictures of my chair and he quoted me a fair price. I supplied my own fabric and arranged with him to have the chair and fabric picked up from my apt. If you need a COI, he will provide that, too. Eli said the chair would be ready for delivery in three weeks and it was! I am very pleased with the work that ReupholsteryNYC did. They were very professional with sending me the invoice. I am now looking for fabric for reupholstering 10 dining room chairs and as soon as I have it I will be sending my chairs to Eli at ReupholsteryNYC to continue their good work. Thank you Eli and staff!"

"Mack Rubio does fantastic woodwork. He and Juri responded within minutes of my request for new porch stairs and railings, as well as replacement of rotted fascia and siding. His work is solid, fast, and precise. Excellent skill and craftsmanship. His estimates are affordable and his team are always punctual and professional. This is my first home purchase and it is a fixer-upper, so I will definitely be calling Mack again for assistance with all of our home improvement projects. I highly recommend Handy Mack for all home repairs and renovations!"

"We hired Abdul, of RRS Builders, to take over a stalled deck construction and installation project from a previous contractor who had disappeared with our money. We had a hard time finding someone to take over the partially-started, messy job, requiring many corrections. We found RRS through the subcontractor who had fabricated the frame of the deck, and had also been robbed by the first contractor. Before signing a contract, we thoroughly researched RRS and Abdul through a private investigator, who found no problems. Abdul corrected all of the first contractor's mistakes and built us a beautiful deck in just a couple weeks. His crew was reliable, meticulous, and respectful and his pricing was reasonable. DOB immediately approved the deck on our land marked building without any issues. We would love to work with Abdul again and will go to RRS immediately with any future jobs."

"We had a failed DIY closet on a budget with tight timeline before interior painting starts. He was amazing at saving this project in time and now the closet looks fabulous! I feel so lucky to find him. I would have him again when I get to my next home improvement project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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