"The Project started out well. We hired Simple Visions to renovate a rental property that we purchased. The estimate was for 38-40k but when all was done it was $50k That's a sizable % over the estimate. There were things that came up like dry rot that added to the cost but there were also many ways we could have saved money to absorb those costs. We were not in the area during the renovations, so we relied on Jann and Lou to keep us informed with emails and photos. We were told often that we would receive photos the next day and never did receive them the following day. It was usually a week later. The time estimate was 8-10 weeks and it took over 12 weeks and there were things that were never finished. The final invoice was sent and paid before the work was finished. After that it was difficult to get a commitment out of them to finish the remaining projects. While Lou seems to take pride in his work, he tended to go a bit rogue and did not involve us in any of the decisions. Hardy plank siding was put on a section of the house without a cost analysis of hardy plank vs matching the original wood shingles. Had we been given a choice and chosen Hardy plank, we would have wanted to choose the color. It's a product we are familiar with as we have it on our house. We chose it for our own house because it is an eco friendly product that never needs to be painted. When Lou put it up it was a color we never would have chosen. When we called Jann to ask why that color was chosen she became very defensive. Though we were disappointed that we were not given a choice we moved on and accepted the fact that it would have to be painted. We had provided them with paint colors at the beginning of the project. Our colors were pale blue/gray with white trim. You can imagine our surprise when we got photos of the house painted a horrible shade of pinkish beige with brown trim. When we asked why, Jann blamed the paint company. Not sure how a paint company could mistake brown for white paint. Trying to cover mistakes with excuses rather than accountability is no way to do business. It also concerned us that the company is listed as being owned by Lou but Jann told me she is the owner.

"Construction employees were very efficient. Reported for work on time.] Cleaned up after their work. They removed the bathtub and installed a walk-in Shower with two shower heads. Nice doors with horizontal handle on both doors. No skimping on the product. First Class. Yes I would have them again. Very comfortable with the crew and Robert Hunter came by to check the work being done in the short time that it took. GREAT !"

"I have always highly recommended Ocean Seven Builders. We have used them many times. They have done our garage roof, the main roof on our house, they have put in new roof for my town home, and all looks beautiful. The team is very prompt response. The crew is very friendly and professional. I will use them again for future needs."

"I hired Landmark construction & energy crew for a 650 sq/ft. of living room addition. Before we hired them, we already had all the necessary plans on hand including all the secured building permits with the city. When it comes to workmanship and speed, I must admit that landmark construction was very fast while investing extra attention to perfection. All the teams of workers worked fast even when it came to fixes and adjustments. They replaced the wood floor with new engineered wood flooring, repainted the entire ceiling and one living room wall and blended new stucco on the exterior wall. The new addition required new foundation, framing, and window installation. We are thoroughly content with all the work that was completed by landmark construction & energy crew. 1) they made sure to cover everything all around the working area in order to prevent damages and extra work due to paint spots and dust from all the sanding. 2) They came to work on a daily basis and few times they skipped work BUT they made sure to confirm that 2 days ahead. This was very responsible from them to do. 3) Charlie the Project Manager was available and reached all the time. When he couldn’t talk or answered, he called within the hour. In regards to pricing… the price that we got from Landmark construction & energy crew was in the middle range. Charlie came over to the house several times to discuss about the details and the process of the project, and after that he start working on the estimate."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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.

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.
