"We worked with Dylan on a number of house projects, beginning with a full bathroom remodel. We also had him hang new doors throughout the house and build/install a customer island in a tight kitchen. He has an eye for finish details that tend to be ignored, and we were extremely pleased with the finished products on the entire project."

"Gio and his team were phenomenal. Not only did he knock out the framing in a good window of time but he went above and beyond to recommend contractors for the following work I needed. Gio was involved in every step of the process and was there while we got inspection done for permits and worked with the inspectors even providing explanation where my knowledge couldn't. Having Gio easily saved 3-4 weeks on hiring other contractors, permits & inspection. And overall project deadlines. This team is a master in the work they provide and overall care they give to your home"

"When the crew came to my house and started the project they were working wide open for two days removing old siding gutters and trim. They installed new siding trim and gutters cleaned up everything. I would recommend this company to anybody who needs work on their home. Thank you again for your help with my project.

"I recently had a great experience working with Mark and Javier on a drywall repair job in our basement. Mark was able to figure out exactly what was needed just by sending over a few photos and chatting on the phone. It’s easy to tell he has massive experience. The work was priced reasonably and Javier knocked it out in a few days. They even went above and beyond and framed out a box to access our new sump pump that was recently installed. They even took care of replacing base board around the finished repairs. I highly recommend these guys and will definitely be calling again for any future jobs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

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.
