"Vargas Home Improvement did an outstanding job on our project: resurfacing our wood deck with composite boards, posts, and rails. First and foremost, the owner, Rudy, was always timely in responding and communicating with us. Throughout all phases of the project, Rudy kept us informed and listened and responded to any and all questions or concerns that arose. Everyone that showed up on the work site was friendly, had a great deal of experience, and were hard workers. The price for the project was very reasonable in comparison to other quotes we received. Therefore, our project finished early, came in within budget, and we were updated and kept informed throughout the whole project. That's a successful project and we would definitely recommend Vargas Home Improvement, and Rudy will be our first call for any other similar projects in the future."

"Jon Thomas Construction was our contractor of choice for several major remodel projects between 2017 and 2018. We were so impressed by the quality of his work (as well as the professionalism exhibited by his crews) that we decided to contract with him again for conversion of our existing garage into a combination 2-car garage / exercise room. The existing garage had room for 4 cars, but only two of the spaces were being utilized with a single overhead door for two cars. The other half was available to us for storage or other use. The garage was well-insulated, however, still was too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer for comfort. We utilized parts of the existing garage for our workouts, but it was never a proper area for exercise. We are in our late 60s, so we ran the risk of pulling muscles (or worse) without performing stretching techniques and/or warmups. We decided to find a solution that would encourage us to exercise safely at all times of the year. We met with Jon in early January 2025, and he came up with a design to wall-off one half of the garage and insulate the new wall. He also suggested we install a “mini-split” HVAC unit to keep temperature comfortable. Our vision of the new exercise room included the use of acoustic panels, mirrors, and rubber matting on the floor. We also wished to replace an existing door, and, add a second door to isolate the new workout room from the garage. Jon provided his expert opinion on what materials to order and helped us determine the most cost-effective way(s) to proceed. Jon Thomas ensured that our project was completed on-time and at or under budget. We are happy with the finished product and are enjoying working out in our new exercise facility! We will highly recommend Jon Thomas Construction to anyone seeking remodeling contractors."

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.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
