"I worked with Dave Waxtel to rebuild my master bathroom shower following a leak. I found Waxtel on Angi.com after trying for months to work with another contractor who was unreliable and excessively expensive. Waxtel was reliable before, during, and after the job was complete. The work was done to a high level. The price charged was fair. I would work with Waxtel again and have already recommended him to a neighbor."

"Danny and the Champion team are professional, punctual, courteous and true masters of their craft. They are clean, friendly and treat your home like it’s their own. They did a complete remodel of my home, including the kitchen, multiple bathrooms, wood floors and painting, just to name a few. The results are beautiful and we are so happy to have found such a talented and honest contractor. Danny was always transparent, responsive, and kept his word. I have recommended Champion to several people already, and would certainly use them again in the future. Thank you Champion!!"

"Hiring Elson, Ardi and their team was a great choice from Day One. Their proposal was well conceived, the price was very competitive, and the work was completed on time and on budget. Dismantling and removing the old roof deck on our co-op in midtown Manhattan and replacing it entirely with a well designed new one was a big job but was finished remarkably quickly. Plus, Elson made several recommendations that greatly improved final result. As President of our co-op, I would unequivocally recommend this company."

"Al and his team were amazing. He provided his expertise and ensured that the job was done on time. I appreciated his insight and honesty when it came to materials and costs. Al and his team of contractors were able to complete- what originally was the kitchen- floors throughout the apartment, my bathroom, all the finishing touches and the best part has been my kitchen!! For a small footprint the layout and the results are just incredible. Flamur and his team(kitchen cabinets/counter-backsplash) were equally as courteous and knowledge in their work. For sure recommend!!"

"Danny and his team are incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of home remodeling, work hard and fast, maintain excellent communication, and do it at a fair, no-surprises cost. They took on a project that turned into a gut renovation of our 100-year-old basement and turned a dank, cramped pair of rooms into a bright, functional space where my kids can play safely and I can work comfortably. They demo'ed an old kitchen, knocked out walls, built custom cabinetry and storage, rerouted piping and electrical components, even took time to experiment to make a match for the disrupted floor tiles. They painted the walls, painted and stained the steps, and did other projects like hang a new attic door and install a new toilet. I will be calling Champion exclusively for all my future home maintenance/improvement needs. Cannot recommend them enough."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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. 

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
