"I am very pleased with the hauling job done by the gentlemen who came to my apartment to remove furniture and large appliances from the premises. Chris was the lead professional who assisted me. I truly appreciate the care and speed that the men displayed to get the job done. My advice to anyone looking for a hauler is to contact this one!"

"I had the pleasure of working with NYZ Contractors represented by Rishi and his team. They delivered excellent results. They were cost effective, professional, and completed the renovation on time. I was very happy with the work they had done. They are dedicated, professional, thorough, accommodating, responsive, hardworking, committed to excellence and nice! I always breathe a sigh of relief when I know I will be working with NYZ Contractors because I know that they will act as an ambassador for my interests and never let me down. The kitchen area was renovated, floors replaced, and apartment painted. New house – new life. Thank you NYZ Contractors for helping my dreams become a reality!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
