"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."

"Bay Remodeling Kitchen & Bath I just completed a kitchen and bathroom remodel, and I love the outcome! The staff was exceedingly professional, diligent, and courteous. They were meticulous in every way, and the result is magnificent. Every money spent on the service was well worth it, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. Bay renovation is the company to choose if you're searching for a trustworthy renovation contractor. Extremely happy!"

"I have been meaning to write this review for quite some time now. Roy installed our entire dream kitchen, appliances and backsplash included. We bought a fixer about a year and a half ago and endured an extensive renovation, which involved many contractors. Roy was by far our favorite in the process. Not only did he do an incredible job with attention to every little detail, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful throughout the process. He offered us ideas that we had not even thought of and really made it a good experience overall. He is also competitively priced and affordable. I highly recommend his services! We love our kitchen! It is the highlight of our home."

"Eric took over a partially completed remodeling job. The job
included framing a new floor where there had been a sunken conversation pit,
hanging doors, replacing the old baseboards and completing a wall with new drywall.
His bid was very reasonable and he completed the job quickly and efficiently. I
would use him again and I would definitely recommend him to others.

"Looking for a great contractor, don't look any further. This man is great. He might be a little higher than other contractor bids, but he doesn't miss a single thing that could cost you MORE money up the road. And, he passes inspections with flying colors. I remodeled a small master bathroom. I basically did the choosing of the shower tile, floor tile, (where Ohad took me shopping) ; accessories, and paint, with a little input of help from Ohad here and there. He's the man with the experience. Answers all your questions and give you good advise. The bathroom turned out beautiful. I couldn't love it more - I am SO happy. BUT........... The main reason for the finished project looking so great, is the workmanship. Ohad has great employees. Well experienced, on time, and clean up after themselves, AND would work with me any way they could. They ALL had a great sense of humor, including Ohad. I feel laughter is the best healer of all, and it also means you are having a good time while working.. I have COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) along with many other health problem, making dust, smoke and chemicals my worse enemies. The Ohad family really took care of me. Put up plastic to the ceiling around my bed and installed a zipper in it so that I could get to my bed. This was needed for me to rest/sleep during the day and take an oxygen treatment. They would even give me a heads up when using chemicals so I could put my mask on - which I had on a lot anyway, because of the dust. I have a lot more projects to be done..........and guess who's going to get hired???? Smile"

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
