"I hired Steve to frame and drywall an unfinished section of my basement to create a home gym, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. He was professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail throughout the project. The framing was solid and precise, and the drywall work was smooth and well-finished. He completed the job on time and left the space clean and ready for the next phase. I would highly recommend him for any framing or drywall projects."

Hello, My name is Sam Mirra the owner of MIRRA& SONS COMPLETE CARPENTRY we have been doing business in this area for 20+ years with a great reputation. Our goal is to satisfy the customer to the fullest no matter if it's at our cost. We provide a professional service and a 100% guarantee no matter what the project is. We provide a complete carpentry business no job is too small. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide you with our services!

"From the very beginning, Sam and his crew were committed to giving me great service and a great outcome. I told Sam my vision of building my own little oasis in my backyard, which included a custom fence, a freestanding deck, and a replaced walkway that would give us a solution to our backyard drainage issue. Sam’s crew worked tirelessly in the heat, staining fencing boards and bringing my vision to life. And despite some setbacks with rain throughout the project, Sam and his team remained committed to giving me a great outcome. The results? A beautiful, private backyard with lots of space to set up my furniture, plant some new beautiful plants and just enjoy my surroundings with my family and friends. They even built me a few custom planters along the way. Sam and his crew were professional and easy to work with. He kept me in the loop the entire way. Which I fully appreciated. They worked hard to make sure I got what I envisioned. The yard looks amazing. The fence is beautiful. Absolutely would hire Mirra and Sons again."

"I hired JLF Construction to finish some spackle and paint our nursery. I wish I never did. I had Jose come out to give a quote. He looked everything over and immediately shot of a price way too high for what the scope of work was. I was providing all materials and tools just needed labor. I told him we would think it over and get back to him. From that day on he continued to harass me with phone calls and texts wanting me to hire him. Finally I explained we felt the price was too high and we'd be getting additional quotes. He then negotiated down to what I thought was a fair price and we hired him. He sold me on how he had over 40 years of experience. Showing pictures of work he recently completed that we liked. We set up a day for him to come out and do the work. I was working when he had the availability and my wife was home. She text me saying there were 3 people here total and she didn't think it was going too well. She said she thinks I need to look everything over but he was demanding payment and wouldn't leave. I text Jose and explained I wouldn't agree to pay until I was home to see the work completed. To my amazement when I got home the room looked awful. He had let his 20 year old son who had no experience cut in the paint. Lines weren't straight, paint on my ceiling in some areas and other areas paint didn't even go all the way up the wall and it wasn't a double coat cut in. The white paint under showed through where they cut in. I immediately called Jose expressing my concerns and he started threatening me, insulting me and telling me I want something for nothing. He threatened to come to my house the next day. My wife who is pregnant was afraid so I agreed to just pay him. He then offered to send his son back out but he refused to come fix it himself since he wasn't the one who did the cutting in. I refused. I was so disappointed after seeing all of his great reviews. I wish I never came across his business. We had to pay a professional painter to come out and fix the issues. Luckily they didn't try to change and arm and a leg. If I could tell anyone to look elsewhere when considering these guys I would. Also, just a side note he had his sons wash out the paint in my yard causing my grass to die. I had them on camera the entire time doing it and asked multiple times to please stop since I pay for lawn treatments. This entire experience ended up costing me more than what we budgeted."

Decks and Porches questions, answered by experts

An enclosed porch can be considered a living space if it meets certain criteria. For instance, it must be completely enclosed with solid walls and a roof. It should also have a heating and cooling source similar to the rest of the home. Finally, the porch should have direct access to and from the interior of your house.

The most likely causes of a deck leaning to one side are damaged deck posts, soil erosion, and inadequate deck footings. If you’re not sure about the exact cause, the best option is to call a contractor who can build a deck to inspect the damage and recommend the best way forward.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

There are several methods of supporting a balcony. Very small balconies, such as Juliet balconies that don't include any usable floor space and don't need to support human weight, may simply require supporting bolts drilled into the home's structure. Cantilevering is a method that requires no additional exterior supports, and larger balconies typically need posts and footings to carry the weight from below.

By submitting this question, I acknowledge and agree that Angi may publicly display my name, city, state, and question on the website for professionals and others to see.
