"Sam was wonderful to work with. He communicated with us about everything throughout the project and cleaned up while he worked. We were happy with all the work that was done including demo, drywall, door installation, painting, cabinet install, floor and backsplash tile work. Most importantly, Sam is trustworthy and honest. We would definitely hire Sam to do other projects in the future."

"Jireh was able to rebuild my window, custom carpentry to replace a piece of the 8 pane, 70 yr old wooden window. Significant difference between repair cost and replacing the window with new. Job was quoted and scheduled correctly, no delays or addl costs. I would work with Jireh on any carpentry needs in the future."

"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!"

"We used Rivera Construction to reconstruct our deck, and we couldn’t be happier! Andrew and Dan are real pros, especially at a time when finding responsive and reliable help is so hard to find. Rivera provided us with detailed estimates, and they were very upfront and communicative as issues came up. They provided a realistic and true to schedule timeline and knew how to work with the town for permits and inspections. We will definitely use them again for our home renovation needs!"

"Mike pays special attention to details. Cleaned up everything at the end of each day. Did a great job not only on painting a bedroom and two hallways but did an excellent job in patching a couple of dents in the sheet rock and replacing a bedroom door frame."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.
