"I had a very pleasant experience with Rudy and his crew. They installed a fairly large wooden fence on my property, re-stained my 2000 square foot garage, installed some gutters and snow bars on my roof and did some deck repair. Everything was done with extreme care, attention to detail and professionalism. The quality was superb and Rudy was very communicative throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Vargas Home Improvement for anything you might need done in the way of remodeling and/or general home improvement."

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Bruce at Live Edge Vail to create a custom, live edge bar top to replace an existing counter in a clients new home in Steamboat Springs. We had been working with another vendor who opted out of the project after going back and forth for several weeks. As disappointed as we were in that situation it really all worked out to our benefit when we found Bruce. He was extremely professional, had an abundance of expertise and created exactly what I had envisioned for my client. Bruce worked within our time frame and installed within several weeks of our initial consultation. The end result is a stunning centerpiece to the room and I have a very appreciative and happy client. Honestly, could not recommend Bruce and Live Edge Vail enough."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.
