"Adam replaced our deck and did a fantastic job. He offered us several options for the renovation, and gave a detailed list of pros and cons for those options. His quote was transparent and fair, and he showed up and did the work when he said he was going to. He was communicative through the entire process. We are very happy with the finished product and will be using him for future projects. I would recommend him to anyone looking for contractor-type work."

"It was wonderful to work with tony. He had great ideas. He also helped me make the entire deck better, sturdier, safer and more aesthetically pleasing. Very easy to talk to and on top of his projects. The only reason for a 4.0 for value was not even tony s Fault. rather it s the fact that I wasn t extremely ready for that much of a higher premium for trex decking. I didn t feel forced to make this decision. I was presented with good options. I hope to not ever need to repair my deck but should I ever have a deck to build in the future in another home, I know who to call!"

"Alexsei came through when we were really in a pinch. We were having new florring installed and found disaster under the carpet. Alexsei was fast to respond to my call, came out immediately to assess the job and finished two difficult projects in one week! We are very happy with the quality of work and speediness of completion. I'd recommend Patron General Construction to anyone needing carpentry work done."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
