"Job was completed per request. After we pointed out our concerns, they worked with us to completion. It took slightly longer to complete, but it was well worth the wait. Many other contractors would probably walk and not address any concerns, but BeHome finished. I would strongly recommend BeHome to do your job. They are professional and friendly."

"Roger and his crew did a fine job on this project, a very large bathroom in our building as well as related areas including electrical and painting and floor finishing. He supervised the work making almost daily visits to the job and he recommended a source for all of the materials, meeting us on a couple of occasions at the home center to make selections for the main project as well as some other work in other areas of the building . He was well organized, furnished regular payment requests, very well detailed, and finished the project well within the promised schedule. I would recommend him."

"We could not be happier with the remodel of our dated, dysfunctional, tiny kitchen. Ruben was very professional, friendly and a real problem solver. He continually went above and beyond and we simply cannot say enough about what a great contractor he is. We had an unforeseen deadline and he and his staff worked very hard to make sure the job was finished. Their work was meticulous and the final result outstanding. Thank you Ruben and staff!"

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

"Jeff and his crew did a beautiful job on my major home repair. He replaced almost the entire back of my house which had water damage. I no longer worry about the next Atmospheric River. He stood out from the other two contractors that I interviewed. He knows what he’s doing and does quality work with attention to detail. They showed up promptly each morning and always cleaned up before leaving. I also appreciated how he kept me updated on what to expect each day.Call him if you want the job done right the first time."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.
