"They responded immediately when contacted and quoted the price lower than others I had contacted. Once I received my Versa Lift, Chris came out and installed it in an extremely timely manner. The work performed was exactly what I had hoped for. They were very knowledgeable and completely cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again when needed!"

"I feel like I struck gold when I decided to use Matice Home Maintenance for a project involving siding repair and complete exterior painting. Unlike most contractors, Jerry (owner) replied to my initial inquiry promptly, and his communication throughout the process was timely. His "right hand man," Fred, was easy to work with, explained their work when I had questions, and kept the project on track from day one. If you're looking for skilled, courteous professionals whose charges are reasonable, I can't imagine a better contractor to put your trust in. Matice will be my go-to contractor for all my home maintenance and renovations in the future. Thank you, Jerry!"

"The job went great. We have an entrance to the bedroom from a back porch so the painters did not have to go through any other part of the house. They did not leave any thrash laying around and were very neat. I would highly recommend them to anyone else. We had another contractor bid the job and the prices were comparable. We chose Brad because he looked more professional.

"Very happy with the work done, they basically had to come in and clean up the "mess" left from someone who previously started the work and didn't finish. Wonderful job, bathroom looks great. I would definitely hire this company for future projects."

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.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
