"We contacted Matt to demolish a very old deck and build a new Trex composite deck, stairs and railing. The entire base support structure of the old deck needed to be replaced, including attachment points to the home that were rotted due to poor design and flashing of the prior deck. When looking for a contractor we researched many options. We eliminated contractors who seemed to only occasionally build a deck, those who had a different primary focus area, and those who did not often do composite decking. Initially, we found Matt's business listed on the Trex website as a certified TrexPro Gold installer. After then reading his positive reviews across AngliesList, Facebook, & Google, and seeing photos of many projects that appeared to be the type of work we were looking for, we reached out. Communication was excellent from the initial quote through completion of the project. The quality of the work and attention to detail was excellent. The project was a notable investment in our home, but we are very pleased with the results would highly recommend Matt to others."

"Jeremy and Justin are an amazing team!!!! Justin arrive at 8am and worked without pause until 4pm every day. He was fastidious about cleaning up each day before leaving. His skills are excellent, but his customer service goes above and beyond. Our job involved: moving walls, moving plumbing, adding electric, drywalling the bathroom and bedroom, installing an electric floor, hardwood floor, tiling and painting. The attention to our plan's detail was paramount and pricing was fair and clearly detailed. We have already recommended Jeremy and Justin to both our family and friends."

"I couldn’t be any happier with the work done by Endor Group Inc and would highly recommend them. Dane is everything you could possibly hope for in a contractor: 1. He is honest. If he wasn’t 100% confident that he could complete the task, he has expert resources he could reach out to or sub contract through to make sure that job is done right. 2. He has all the right tools to complete the job and do it neatly. 3. He is very meticulous. I thought I was OCD, but everything Dane did was done perfectly, and if anything needed fixed he would do whatever he had to in order to get it done right. 4. He is punctual. This is probably the biggest one for me. It was such a relief to work with Dane because his communication was impeccable. He actually showed up when he said he would, but if something changes he will let you know as far in advance as he can. I can’t thank Dane and Endor Group enough for helping my wife and I turn this into the house we’ve always dreamed of!"

"I couldn’t be happier with the garage remodel this contractor did for me. From the first conversation, they were friendly, honest, and really listened to what I wanted. Throughout the whole project, they kept me updated, showed up when they said they would, and treated my home with care. The finished garage is better than I imagined; clean, organized, and truly transformed. It’s rare to find someone who takes this much pride in their work, and it really shows. I’ve already told friends and family about them, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor they can trust."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Any bowing in a basement wall signals an issue that needs to be addressed. However, bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches. That’s why it’s essential to call a pro as soon as you notice the bowing wall. The sooner you address the problem, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to repair.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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.

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.
