"My husband and I were very impressed with AMJ Construction. Anthony and his helpers took their time with removing the old doors, replacing it with the new one. They were meticulous about the work being done. The helpers were respectful and answered any questions we may of had. By the end of the job the work area was immaculate. Anthony’s assistant Tracy at the office was patient and very pleasant to work with. We will definitely hire AMJ Construction again for another project."

"My first impression of Mark was that he was just a downright nice guy. I had two contractors out before him and already had some estimates. What I appreciated about Mark was that he was a nice guy, but still able to be straight-forward about numbers and talk realistically about what needed done. This meant he could say what needed said, but he was still great talk work with. In fact, he gave me a higher number than my previous contractors -- but I truly believed him when he mentioned several things the other contractors missed in their estimates, and I would ultimately pay for anyway. Mark was just giving me the real cost upfront -- instead of nickel and diming me. In fact, he made it a point to try and avoid coming back with incremental increases -- even though I know he ran in to things that were unexpected. He kept to his estimate. As the project went along, some things did change but each step of the way he always made the right decision. For example, when he removed the drop ceiling in the kitchen to repair what we thought was as small area of falling ceiling -- he discovered it was much worse than he thought and he couldn't possibly do that much work considering that it was easily 3x more than it looked like it would be when we first took a peek at it. So instead, Mark made up for it in other ways. For example, one of the doors upstairs to the bathroom was an odd size. He could have taken a shortcut and put a door on it that worked -- but it would have opened in to the hallway...which would have been awkward. Instead, he built a custom edge to the door frame and made the door open in to the bathroom. This made the door look great and avoided an awkward-looking doorway. Mark often did things that made it obvious he intended to work on things to get a result he would be happy with, basically making sure that whatever he finished was something he would be happy with as if it were his own house. Many of the final touches were things I didn't even ask for -- he just 'did it' because he knew it was a minor thing but made a major impression. For instance, he painted all of the air vents and even washed the siding on the front porch. The entire project was finished in an impressive amount of time -- it was only a few days longer than he estimated, and it surprised me that he was able to do so. He was able to lead the entire job, doing most of the work himself and only bringing in folks when it made sense -- but overseeing the work quality. I can't overstate how happy and fortunate I was to find Mark. He's a stand-up guy, and straight-forward when it comes to talking through business in a way that makes it easy for you both to decide what will and won't work in terms of numbers, timing and scope of the effort. I found Mark through Angie's list and didn't know him before this. The fact that I found a negative review among so many positive reviews is something I actually appreciated. Because it gave me a chance to read his response to the negative review -- and I told him so. It's easy to be nice when things are going well, but if you read his response he was still able to keep his helpful and respectful demeanor. I thought that was a real sign of true character and based on my experience -- I was right. I highly recommend Mark for your consideration if you want someone who will be respectful, forthcoming and does incredible work. His extensive experience is obvious in his work and he's the first guy I am calling for my next investment property."

"I knew it was going to be challenging to find an investor that would lend me money for this real estate venture.  I have lived 20 years in a four unit historic condominium building in downtown Jersey City and I wanted to buy the unit above me as an investment property.  But with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac rules, they would not give me a loan because I would own half the building and this would give me too much control over condo association decisions.  I checked with Angie's List where Central Lending was well recommended and spoke with Mark, the president of Central Lending, about my situation and that I needed an unconventional loan outside of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac oversights.  After many disappointments and on the very last day of my contract with the seller, Mark found a lender.  And on the very last day of the window to the loan, it closed.  I cannot thank Mark and his assistant Judy enough for their patience and steadfast of seeing this through.  I cannot tell you the emotional roller-coaster ride I went through during the 4 1/2 month duration.  There were many moments that I wanted to give up but Mark reassured me that the sale would happen.  Without Mark's personal intervention with the lender and title company, this deal would not have closed.   You can be sure that when I am in the market to buy unit #3, I will not hesitate to contact Central Lending.  Thank you so much."

"The designer was always very attentive when I contacted him and would answer (in detail) the numerous questions I would pose. The two contractors who showed up at my home were just as professional and pleasurable to work with. over the course of the week they were coming to my house, any ideas or suggestions from either side were always hashed out as they would materialize and by the end of the project, the end project was essentially exactly as I'd constructed it in my head. The only slight con to the end result was more-so of my own doing than anyone else's, where the light fixtures I'd purchased for the replacement did not come with rods, so a couple of the pendant lights hang crooked."

"We had a great experience with Alpine Contracting. Once the work was started, they were here everyday and we were notified if they weren't going to make it due to supplies being unavailable or the weather. If a problem came up it was corrected quickly and to our liking. I would recomment Alpine Contracting to anyone in need of a general contractor. We were very pleased with the amount of time it took to complete everything and how flexible the workers were with us as homeowners. Ron is absolutely great to work with and exceeded our expectations."

"I reached out to the contractor and the communication was excellent! He was able to translate my ideas into an actionable plan and execute the build within the allotted timeframe. During the process, my asks continued to evolve and change and he communicated the impact on the project timelines when necessary. That is more important than many people will realize. As a business, a delay in the timeline can be costly. Historically, my experience with contractors has been hit or miss with more on the miss side. But thankfully that wasn't the case with SCS."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
