"Our experience with McGee construction was truly awesome! All of their work was strategically planned so when one process was completed, the next set of workers were scheduled back to back. The workers they have are courteous, clean, and respectful. Arrived on time and didtheir job professionally. Cade went above and beyond by being here to check on workers and the job done daily. We would definitely use them again."

"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

"It’s hard to find an expert contractor that is also honest. John ensures his team produces high quality work. He’s there everyday to make sure it’s done right. The job was done expeditiously despite that his team was in high demand. It was much less stressful for us with his process to get everything delivered before the actual construction began. We love our new area so much that we hired him for our two bathrooms upstairs next."

"Laguna Bay Development just completed a second story deck rebuild for us a short time ago. We could not be happier and are pleased to recommend this Contractor. We had already spoken with three Contractors regarding this project when we were lucky enough to find David, the owner/Contractor from Laguna Bay Development. David is very knowledgeable and has a team of skilled team members who arrived on time, did a quality job and even cleaned up after themselves. Additionally, David’s fees are very competitive, the work was completed on time and David’s word is golden. Thank you David and Team, for an exceptional job! Marilyn & Chris H."

"I recently hired Oz-Ari Construction for a garage conversion, and they did an outstanding job! From start to finish, their team was professional and attentive. They transformed my garage into a beautiful living space, completing the project on time and within budget. Communication was great, and they were always ready to address any concerns. I highly recommend Oz-Ari to anyone looking to do renovations!"

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
