"Anthony was very helpful when explaining the process, his work , and price were great!. His measurements required only minimal adjustments. Timeframe of work completed was very good. The edge thickness, was not to my liking though(in hindsight, i would have asked for double thickness) And towards the end, I should have done a better check,as a few little things- reinstalling and caulking sink, paint came up where old backsplash was. I'm sure that he would have taken care of these things, but it was the end of the day, and i guess we both missed those details. I'm using him again soon"

"Goes out of his way to help you and make sure you are happy with the job he does. Tommy made time to drive 45 mins on a holiday to help fix a couple little things that we were unable to do ourselves. So thankful!"

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
