"We recently hired Dustin with All In One Construction completely remodel our kitchen and master bathroom, and I cannot say enough good things about them. From the very first meeting to the final walkthrough, they exceeded every expectation we had. His team was professional, punctual, and respectful of our home and our time. Dustin was responsive, transparent, and kept us informed every step of the way. He truly listened to our vision and turned it into something even better than we imagined. The attention to detail was great, from the perfect alignment of the tiles and cabinetry installation to the lighting and finishes. Everything looks custom and high-end. Dustin's team showed up when they said they would, cleaned up every single day, and never cut corners. If any unexpected issues came up (as they sometimes do in remodels), they handled them quickly and fairly. Very happy with the work they did. Thank you Dustin"

"Anthony helped me locate the source of a leak from heavy rains. He determined it was coming from windows and siding. He re- installed the windows, flashing, and siding to solve the problem. Work was done timely and professionally. I also had him replace area of plywood siding with Hardee board shingles."

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
