"Jason is the best - I couldn't have asked for a better experience. His tile guy Brian is amazing - a true professional and perfectionist. We also used his plumber David who didn't quit until he got everything working perfectly. Everyone showed up on time as scheduled and they all cared about their work which is pretty hard to find. My daughter just used a horrible contractor that she had to fire - I felt guilty telling her about our great experience!!"

"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."

"Arroyo Brothers are experts in every phase of the construction process. They can act as general contractors or specialized craftsmen. We have enjoyed their expertise for 20+ years. They completed a major exterior remodel for us, including cedar shingle siding, construction of 2 new decks, a new roof, and a portico addition. They also completed major interior remodeling including a complete kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, and bedroom addition. They have remodeled our yard, including the construction of a magnificent flagstone firepit. They have worked with our interior designer to ensure impeccable results. The quality of their work is extraordinary. They are dependable, conscientious and efficient. Once you hire Arroyo Brothers, you will never hire anyone else!"

"From the beginning Ryan was straight forward, honest, had a clear timeline and met all my expectations. As a contractor I'm always nervous when I hire someone else to do work for me. There is always the chance that their workmanship will be poor, they will excessively markup material, fall behind on schedule, disappear after receiving majority of payment and leave the project unfinished. All I have to say about Lovejoy construction is this, his workmanship was exceptional, his prices are fair, he completed our project on time, and had a fair and clear payment schedule. When I have another project I will be calling Lovejoy construction for work."

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
