Customers say: Quality work

"Felipe built a fence for me, and he did an amazing job from start to finish. The work was clean, sturdy, and clearly done with a lot of care and attention to detail. He showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left everything looking great—I couldn’t be happier with the result and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing fence work."

"It's very hard to get a roofing company to do a smaller building. We have a 16/40 ft building, and need decking work and shingles, it was leaking. Jose was very polite and answered all my questions regarding what needed to be done. He even answered questions on our existing Metal Roof, and he eased my worries on it. They did a fantastic job on the Portable Building, and did it in a day, Made sure everything was cleaned afterwards, I would highly recommend anyone to J&R Roofing."

Maintenance professional with 20+ years of experience in mechanical systems, troubleshooting, and repair. I specialize in home repairs, fixture installs, drywall patching, and custom solutions—including welding and light fabrication. I take pride in clean, reliable work and showing up on time.\n\nI’m especially good at solving problems other contractors can’t or won’t take on. Whether it’s a small repair or a list of projects, I focus on getting it done right the first time. No sewer or major plumbing work.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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