"Fabiano and Will went over and beyond on this project. Hiring a carpenter you have never worked with before involves a certain degree of faith. That's what I did when hiring Fabiano Construction to build a triple-tiered flower bed on my rooftop with a trellis on my Philadelphia row-home rooftop. I was not disappointed. Fabiano and Will are a great team, they are very kind and they do great work. What more could you ask for? I am having both of them come back to rebuild my grill countertop and cabinetry! I have no regrets using Fabiano Construction and I will continue to use them in the future!"

"Our home is a 50's cape cod. What that means in real language is that nothing is square. Everything has settled so that there are indents, misalignments, etc. everywhere! Our dog did some major damage on bay window sill as well. Dave first did work for my husband over 20 years ago. Nothing has changed in all that time. He does the quality work now that he did then. In fact, he's better! He estimated the job, advised me where I could get the best costs on tile and styles (as I wanted to pick out the finishes). Gave me a spot on estimate of the time it would take and - as always - arrived at the hour promised to complete the task. It is beautiful and we absolutely love it! Somehow, he worked his magic to make the lines look straight!"

"I had a fantastic experience with Parker Contracting. They responded quickly to my inquiry and completed my deck repair project in a timely manner. Even though the job turned out to be larger than anticipated, they honored their original quote, showing exceptional integrity. The professional work crew ensured a smooth process from start to finish. My deck was severely sagging, but after two days, it looks like new and I can enjoy it for the rest of the season and for years to come. I highly recommend Parker for their outstanding service and attention to detail."

"Let me begin by saying that I never met Eric from Front to Back contractors before the conception of our home project. I interviewed four contractors for this project. Eric's pricing was very competitive, not the cheapest but in my opinion, best bang for the buck. Aside from the usual construction delays, the project went off without a hitch. Each facet of the project was performed with the utmost quality and eye for detail as you could ever expect. From the foundation to the final detail checklist. Eric is very friendly and knowledgeable. He kept us informed throughout the job, listened to our wants and needs, and helped us design the home we always hoped for. If you select Front to Back contractors, you will NOT be disappointed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
