"Leo and his workers were very professional in building a fence for us. They first dismantled the old tired fence the build a wonderful and creative one of a kind fence. He bid it right away and then sent me a copy via email. I was very happy with their work and the pace with which they did the job.. I will hire them for other projects around the place."

"When we first moved to Washington we bought a fixer upper because it was an excellent value. I had used no one in the Washington area before, since we moved here from out of state, and I found Stefan through this site. He is probably the most detail oriented contractor that I have ever worked with. The deck was completely rotted through, my siding as well and I had a collapsed chimney and this was the first time I have ever needed to replace any of these items. He walked me through my options both with careful regard to cost and attention to details that I specifically wanted to use in the deck design. We ended up using a mid-grade composite decking with hidden fasteners and metal in wood frame for the exterior railing. It will likely outlast the home itself it is so solid, and it is the perfect size in comparison with the home and with everything complying to our exacting local code. I have gotten so many compliments from everyone who has come over, including the inspector required by my insurance, and my neighbors are thrilled with the new view. In addition to the deck work, he has replaced our outside siding with concrete board as well as completely redoing the inside chimney, fixing plumbing issues as well as electrical work. Everyone he subcontracted with did exemplary work and I trust him implicitly. He completed the work within our budget. I could not be more pleased with the work, and we will be working with him on any future projects. I would absolutely recommend Stefan to anyone in the future."

"Outstanding! Both buildings were extremely well built. The attention to detail was excellent. Mike kept me informed about when he would be able to start and started exactly when he said he would. He also had some very helpful suggestions and he fixed a problem with my original plan that made the loft much more usable. Mike and his crew also did a great job cleaning up after each building was finished. I will definitely contact Lazer Construction if I need any future construction work."

"When the repair person came to my house to give me a quote on fixing my fan blower. When he heading up our street he saw to horses walking on the road and he stop and was trying to help the horses staying safe. It took about half an hour before the horses were safe in their field. Is someone cares about helping horses and safety of them tells me that his work will be great. He did a super job and was very good on the price of the repair."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
