"Karol was a very professional and organized contractor. He was patient and listened to what I needed. He made sure to keep our house clean and protected during the construction. I refered him to a neighbor and my neighbor has given him many projects. I would hire Herman construction again for all my work."

"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!"

"We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Be Home Remodeling, and I just wanted to share how happy we are with everything. Pouria, our project manager, was great — super organized, always kept us updated, and really listened to any concerns we had. Any time we needed something or had a question, he handled it right away. The crew (Manuel, Isaí )did an awesome job. They worked cleanly, were respectful of our home, and the quality of the work shows. The bathroom turned out even better than we expected, and we honestly love how everything came out. Overall, it was a really smooth experience, and we’d definitely recommend Be Home Remodeling and Pouria if you’re planning a remodel."

"After I interviewed several recommended contractors on my bathroom remodel I decided to hire Sky Tech Builders because they gave me most realistic offer, most detailed answers and plan of the project. It was a right decision, they did excellent job, as I requested and also everything as they promised, within scheduled time and within my budget. The quality of work is second to none and my new bathroom looks amazing! I strongly recommend this contractor!"

Small jobs welcome

"Having purchased this second home out of state and literally knowing nothing about the area and what was needed to set up the reconstruction, he was highly recommended by our real estate agent and had great references from other homeowners in the area. Eric helped us find a local architect/designer, worked with the building planning district, water district, etc. etc. so he's much more than just a General Contractor.  We simply could not have completed the work without him. As with all remodels, it's stressful and he was the calm, steady person needed to keep everyone in check.  He had great sub-contractors and every portion of the work was completed as guaranteed per the contract.  When there were hiccups, he fixed it.  He did all the hard work, just coordinated with us to be sure we got what we expected from each phase.  The results exceeded all our expectations.  No hesitation with recommending him for any job, large or small.

"We recently had the chance to work with Quartz construction ( owner: Ohad) on our construction project for bathroom remodeling and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, transparency. They maintained clear communication throughout the project, kept us informed of progress and any potential changes, and delivered everything on time and within budget. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding — every detail was handled with care and precision. What stood out most was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They were responsive to our questions, respectful of our space, and ensured that the final outcome matched our vision perfectly. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and trustworthy construction contractor, I wholeheartedly recommend Quartz Construction, Ohad and his team. AJ"

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
