Customers say: True professional

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice.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!"

"This is the second time I’ve booked with Zabi & he has been amazing. The reason we booked him this time was because of his great first impression last time! He will always be who we call for any home needs. He has now built us a dresser, mounted a tv and built and mounted a wall shelf to go under a tv. The whole time he’s here working he is super friendly and helpful & very attentive to detail as well as making sure you are involved in the process to ensure you like the final product. Highly recommend booking him! He also loves animals, even has his own dog who is super cute that he has in his truck!"

Hello...\nMy friends call me Chuy. I've been in construction for over 25 years. More on the electrical, low voltage side. Fully remodeled my home myself. From flooring, fixtures, sinks, toilets, garbage disposal. Pretty much anything one person can do I've done it. I can mount any TV or put together any furniture you buy. Only doing this to get my kids thru college. Hope to hear from you.\nThank you

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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 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.
