"Wilson pretty much built the deck and erected the Gazebo as if it were his own. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Wilson is probably the hardest working contractor I have ever seen. If I have another project, I will not hesitate to contact Wilson and his crew."

"I cannot recommend Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement highly enough! We have used Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement for two separate projects at our house now, and their quality and professionalism are consistently outstanding. We worked directly with Phil, and he is truly amazing. From the moment we started, the entire experience was stress-free due to his great communication. He was always clear, timely, and professional, ensuring we were aligned every step of the way. Phil's attention to detail is remarkable. He approached the project with the precision of a true craftsman, ensuring every cut, layout, and grout line was perfect. The amazing quality of the final work exceeded all of our expectations—it is absolutely stunning. I have already recommended Phil and Sullivan Tile and Home Improvement to several friends who are planning renovations. If you are looking for top-tier, reliable, and detailed home improvement, look forward to working with Phil. Highly recommend Sullivan"

"Chris came over to check our roof and informed us that it could be replaced by the insurance company. Chris and his team replaced the roof in a day and they left no mess. He repaired a ceiling and the work was done neatly. Chris and his team provide quality work. We highly recommend him and his team. We would use him again for any future work needed."

"????? - BEST CONTRACTOR I am a big investor and own multiple properties in the Bronx, and I hired godinez for a full gut renovation of a 3-family house on Concord Ave.He is hands down one of the best contractors I have ever worked with. Amazing, reliable, experienced, and truly knows what he's doing. When we hit unexpected issues - which always happens in a full gut - he didn't get stuck, he found smart solutions on the spot.He has the right team, the right guys, they work FAST but the quality is still top. Communication was excellent the whole time, and his pricing is very fair and honest.If you want a contractor who gets the job done right, on time, with no headaches - this is your guy. Highly, highly recommended."

Customers say: Quick response

"Mike and his team at Prime Construction are 10/10! I recommend them to anyone and everyone I know. The quality of their workmanship, attention to detail, very fair pricing are absolutely outstanding. I received 3 estimates, none of which were even close to being reasonable to what Mike offered. He made my gym shed even BETTER than what I was expecting, and I have incredibly high standards when it comes to construction. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PRIME CONSTRUCTION!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
