"They were very professional. Arrived on time, completed the work in two days as promised. The price was reasonable and they cleaned up everything. The two men were very friendly. Go on their website and see before and after pictures of the deck. We are very pleased and would hire them for our next job. William and Virginia Potts of Centereach"

"It was an excellent experience to work with Jorge. When I contacted him, he was very quick to respond. His knowledge, professionalism and responsibility are incredible. Also, he’s very kind and friendly. Something that I liked was that he explains you his methods and work process, giving to the furniture an optimal quality and finish. Definitely, I’m going to call Jorge for any project in my house; I can’t be more please with his work. I’d highly recommend Jorge if you need to repair your furniture."

"Highly recommended! If you need a professional who works quickly and is incredibly nice, Rati is the one to call. We had carpets in three rooms that caused issues due to my baby girlâ s dust allergy. While we were out of town, Rati transformed our space by replacing the carpets. He treated our home with great care and demonstrated impressive skills throughout the process. We are very grateful for his exceptional work and will definitely seek his help for future projects!"

"We had quite a bit of stone work done such as a retaining wall, a stone wall along the driveway, and a front walkway. We also had the deck re-floored. Jacob gave us a good estimate. He frequently stopped by to see how the job was progressing and was always available to discuss/resolve issues. His crew worked through major problems such as an enormous undiscovered root. Would highly recommend"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Homeowners insurance may cover damaged floor joists, depending on your policy. Insurance typically covers issues from storms, fires, or water damage from burst pipes. However, don't expect your insurance company to cover damage from wear and tear, poor maintenance, or termites.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.
