"Nixon and his crew did an outstanding job gutting and rebuilding a very challenging bathroom in our house, which was built in the 1930s. We are very happy with the craftsmanship and the price, and it was a pleasure to work with them on this project from start to finish. I highly recommend this excellent contractor."

"Igle (hope the spelling is correct) was very friendly, respectful and professional. He responded quickly to my request for a quote on replacing my front porch steps. He gave me a very reasonable cost estimate. Unfortunately, upon removal of the old steps insect damage to the framing structure was discovered. He was not deterred by this change in the scope of the project. My house was built in 1896 and nothing is standard about the construction, complicating the work. He managed to find a way to resolve all the problems and I am very happy with the result. We worked out a very reasonable adjustment to the original estimate to cover the extra materials and labor. I would highly recommend him. I intend to call on him in the future for other work."

"Excellent. George and his people are great. The woodwork was efficiently and well done. The painting was not perfect, but overall excellent. (I would rate the painting a B or B+ and woodwork A A- which is why I kept the rating as Excellent. Pleasure to work with - only problem was availability! Scheduling was tough, but he was always responsive!!!"

"We are so happy with the beautiful patio Arnold and his team built for us! Arnold was very professional and responsive from the first time we reached out to him for an initial quote through completion of the project. He was able to complete our patio ahead of schedule so that we could enjoy our new patio even earlier for the summer. He took great care of the job site and our property which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him and his business!"

"Mike did work building a dry bar in my basement. He was very easy to work with, communicative and did great work. He is fairly priced and was open to my suggestions, checking In with me before making any major decisions as he knew I wanted to be a part of the design process. The end result Is exactly what my vision was, and I couldn't be happier with It."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
