"From design to completion, Brandon exhibited all the professional qualities that one would expect from a home improvements contractor. I am impressed with the design, function, and maintainability of the custom cabinetry he made for the kitchen portion of my renovation. He has transformed three areas of disorganized space(kitchen, dining and bedroom) into functional and masterful works of art. His attention to detail is evident in his exceptional craftsmanship and carpentry skills."

"Two level deck needed minor surface rot repair, power washing, and staining. Flores Enterprises LLC quoted and completed the work in the same business week. Attention to detail on staining is excellent. Provided photos of repairs and completed work and kept me informed on any issues which arose. Would definitely hire again."

"Highly recommend anyone looking to do anything with a deck or porch to give Nestor a call. He was very professional, detailed, and knows what is needed to be up to code. Unfortunately I had bought a house with a deck that was not on code, but luckily by calling Nestor, I am now not just up to code but with a great looking deck! Also the price, I dont think you will find another company that will beat his price for what he builds for you. His cost was even less than what a handyman had quoted me. Quality is first, but when it comes with a great price as well, why would you say no? Again, highly recommending NV Outdoors!"

"Guy is a 40 year professional carpenter. I have been doing many of my own projects for the last two decades and I am no where near the skill level of Guy. He is a crown molding expert. Meticulous and nice. Best hire I’ve had on Home Advisor. Go with him and you will be happy."

"It was a pleasure working with Mark and his team. We hired them for a variety of home improvement projects including replacing the exterior window framing, installing a new front door, putting a vent in the kitchen, adding an outdoor electrical outlet, and repairing drywall/painting in the garage and living room. Mark came out right away to give an estimate and was able to start work the following week. Christian and the crew were professional and easy to work with. They did quality work in a short period of time. While they were working we added several items to our "wish list" and they were able to accommodate our new requests and still finish on time. We would definitely hire them again for other home repair needs."

"Efficient crew. They had excellent communication skills. I was apprised of needed alterations to the deck as they laid trex Composite flooring.All my questions were answered. I was given ideas on hanging my Shepard's hook that holds my bird feeder to the railing after the installation of Trex. The crew of 2 persons worked 3 days to give me a beautiful new flooring, stairs and railing look. I will be staining the wood tines myself."

"This is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with since we bought our home 25 years ago.  The owner is incredibly professional and very easy to work with.    The crew took down the old deck within a matter of hours and began work on the new deck the same day.  The carpenters were terrific and they had the new deck done within a matter of days.  We were able to use the deck for our Easter Sunday company.   The deck is stunning.  It's larger than the old one, it's made of composite and the attention to detail makes this deck pop.    The owner paid a lot of attention to the structure in order to make the deck design easier for my husband who is recovering from a stroke.   I cannot say enough positive things about this company and crew.

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
