"I was extremely happy with this company. I liked the fact that he would come to install one door. (Good to his advertisement, he goes to Suffolk county) It turned out to be more than the one door.. He returned my call, the same day. I found Greg, a pleasure to deal with. I chose his company to call, over 3 other names I felt fortunate, it worked out so well, and I made an excellent choice. Now have the name of someone who handles all types of home repairs, that does excellent work. I was extremely impressed, that upon walking up to my door, he removed the snow, off the steps. Top notch company!"

Customers say: True professional

"I recently had the pleasure of utilizing Angieâ s List for the first time to find a professional to install closet doors, and I couldnâ t be more thrilled with the outcome. Within minutes of submitting my request on Angieâ s List, I came across Demetris. From our initial phone conversation to meeting him in person, I was thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and genuine kindness. Demetris is not just a contractor; he is a true craftsman who takes pride in his work. His attention to detail is impeccable, and it is evident that he strives for perfection in every project he undertakes. What sets Demetris apart is not only his exceptional craftsmanship but also his integrity and reliability. In a world where these qualities are becoming increasingly rare, Demetris stands out as a beacon of honesty and ethical business practices. From start to finish, working with Demetris was a seamless and enjoyable experience. He communicated effectively, listened attentively to my needs, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. It is clear that Demetris is dedicated to providing top-notch service to his clients, and his passion for his craft shines through in the quality of his work. If you are in need of closet door installation or any other carpentry services, I wholeheartedly recommend Demetris. He is a true professional who embodies the values of honesty, reliability, and excellence. Thank you, Demetris, for transforming my space and making the process stress-free and enjoyable!"

"Lang Co Construction is the best! We love our beautiful three-season room! In the past they have also finished our basement and added a porch to our home. The work is professional and fairly priced. I would recommend Lang Co Construction for any home repair and remodeling work."

Small jobs welcome

"The owner Steve is great! I am battling a mice problem and wanted to stop them from entering my home through various holes/gaps on the exterior. Due to the urgent nature of the situation, Steve was able to fit me into his busy schedule and sent handyman Joe within 2 days after I first reached out to his company. Joe was excellent, really a knowledgable guy with tremendous enthusiasm. He jumped on board immediately and got right to work filling in all the holes around the house and even located gaps on the facade and located a possible rodent nest my exterminator and I had not noticed before. The custom frame he built to cover the basement window vent is functional and also looks great! This was a major site identified by my exterminator where mice were entering, and I feel confident that now the area is secure. The entire job was completed in 3 hours with a side trip to Home Depot to gather materials. Even though tackling a mice infestation is not what this company usually does, they were able to accommodate me and exceeded my expectations! I will definitely hire them again and already am compiling a list of tasks around my house."

"I called and they responded immediately.. Came out to house and gave a reasonable estimate for job.. I hired them and they had the job done in two days, workers were nice and friendly. They matched my siding and you can not even tell where the new siding was installed. Very happy with the job they did, decided to get to do my gutters also, and get a estimate for them to paint and seal my new deck. Patricia P"

"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

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
