"Vin was fantastic to work with. He was quick to evaluate everything that was needed and offered a fair price for the work requested. Vin had a fantastic work ethic, was professional at every turn and was quick and attentive to the work being done. On top of installing a new fence he was skillful in other carpentry and roofing work. I would have no problem working with him and his company in the furture and highly reccomend him to others needing quick effective and precise work done."

"Eddie built us a beautiful very large deck over a challenging, uneven yard. The deck is even, solid & decorative due to his much appreciated suggestions. He built beautiful flower boxes & a cabinet to hold grilling equipment. We are thrilled with the results! Eddie is a master craftsman and I would highly recommend him for any building or repair projects."

"We just had Scarpone and Sons replace our roof in the middle of winter!! They chose the perfect day to rip off the existing roof and replace it in a little over a day. Lucky for us it stopped snowing just long enough for them to do what they do. They were efficient, fast, and did an excellent job. The roof no longer leaks and we are so happy! I highly recommend them to do YOUR roof. In fact we recommended them to a couple that were thinking of replacing their roof."

"I contacted AAA Home Improvement to resolve a problem with squirrels and birds building nests in my soffit located on the second story. Squirrels chewed their way in the side soffit and corner post. Access was extremely difficult for repair. Scott’s crew Keith and Ray remedied the situation sealing access and replaced the corner sliding post. They also worked magic replacing older siding on my home that had been damaged with multiple screw holes. Mixing and matching old and new siding was a challenge but Keith and Ray accomplished the impossible with professional wisdom and expertise. If you have a sliding job or soffit issues I would highly recommend contacting AAA Home Improvement (Scott) to resolve your issue or project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.
