"We had dry-rotten entrance stair which was falling apart.  We contracted Roy through HomeAdvisors for Entrance stair dry rot removal, repair & window header replacement. He showed up on time and provided a detailed estimate of the scope of work. Upon appointment,  work was started & finished as per schedule and the site was kept in pristine condition. Roy is very experienced and skilled and provided valuable inputs when required. I'm planning on doing more upgrades to my house and will be contacting Roy for future work as well."

"The job was to remove a stump by hand in a restricted space. Genaro arrived on time and performed work in a surprisingly short time. Preserved and reinstalled the decomposed granite that surrounded the stump after adding fill dirt to make the area level. Excellent work."

"We hired Bayside Builders Group to tear down our old, rotting wood deck and replace it with a massive new composite deck, and they did a spectacular job. The picture-frame borders and the hidden fastener system look absolutely seamless. It completely transforms our backyard and gives us the perfect space for summer hosting. The crew was incredibly hard-working and finished the entire build in just a few days."

"Pat replied promptly, arrived when arranged, and completed the job in good time. He was friendly and worked with me to figure out an unusual carpentry project. He ultimately charged me less than his estimate. His final product was well done; heâ s going to come back and fix another carpentry problem I have. A nice guy to work with."

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
