"Matt does excellent work, is a true professional and an overall great guy! I'm a contractor and have worked with many carpenters and cabinet installers over the years. I can say working with Matt is a pleasure and the quality of his work is meticulous. Some of the cabinets I received for this project were the wrong size. Matt was very flexible and went the extra mile to finish the install as soon as the correct cabinets were delivered. He also installed wainscoting for me in a difficult bathroom and the finished product was fantastic. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for high quality finish carpentry work."

"Brandon and his skilled crew revamped my whole backyard. The dilapidated retaining wall was replaced with beautiful stone as well as landscaping above the retaining wall. The deck was replaced with composite wood. Pavers were installed for the grill area. It's just gorgeous, Brandon spent time with me discussing all possible options and he was very thorough. He made sure I got everything I wanted and needed."

"Luis and the crew did an amazing job working with me on options for a deck that was in pretty bad shape. Luis provided me with three different options. His bids on the work were fair and reasonable and less than other contractors. Luis was great to work with and was in constant communication about the project. We ended up pouring a patio and the crew did an amazing job. I highly recommend LCR Home Solutions!"

"The men that did the work related to the prepping the yard for the retaining wall, placing the rock and pavers for the walkway did a very good job and it really looked nice. I've worked in construction and building maintenance for over 50 years, so I know what's good workmanship and what's poor. The worker who did the framing for the new sidewalk, steps and porch was poor workmanship. Nothing was level or straight and I had to have the other crew correct the forms before concrete was poured. The guys that finished the concrete did an excellent job. Never let D&D workers connect the lawn sprinkler piping to your house water piping. They seem to be handymen, not real plumbers. Beside not installing necessary valves and fittings to winterizing the sprinkler system, all the copper pipe was installed crooked, under stress and not supported correctly. Overall, half the crew did very good work, the other half needs training."

"Cesar and his guys were punctual and professional. They did a great job working with us on the design and build of our patio cover project which turned out exactly how we expected. We have already CMR to friends and neighbors and would use him again. CMR's price was extremely reasonable and much cheaper than other quotes we got. His cheaper price did not reflect with lesser quality craftsmanship. We are very pleased with his work and have received many compliments from our friends and neighbors."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

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.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
