"When we began the process of our bathroom renovation, we were very impressed with Sam right off the bat. He is a very genuine, knowledgeable, professional and honest person. Once we met him and discussed what we wanted to do, we knew we wanted Sam to handle our renovation. Sam showed up when he said he would and worked every day straight through until the project was finished. He didn't start and then disappear for days or weeks and then show up again. When we met with the inevitable "unexpected issues" that come up with any renovation, Sam always had at least a couple of ideas/options for us to consider relative to dealing with those issues. Sam always cleaned up any debris, etc., and left everything very neat and clean. We are beyond pleased with the results and would certainly use Sam again. We would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone needing any sort of home improvements or repairs. Thanks, Sam, you're awesome!"

"Michael and his co-worker were prompt, neat, respectful of our property, took the time to do all necessary prep work, and professional. They did carpentry work as well as painting. They showed up on time and completed the job quickly. They did excellent work. Michael returns phone calls, visited the site, gave a prompt proposal and gave us a reasonable start date. These are qualities that are hard to find! Highly recommend."

"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!"

"He put Pcv boards around three sides.of my Shed. Just done yesterday 5/14 and since today has been raining I haven't checked to see how it's handling the rain run-off. But as far as installing the boards, it looks great."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
