"Juliano was very responsive and receptive of ideas I had for the project. The work done turned out the way I wanted and was able to do it within my price range. The only thing I would say needs improvement is the cleanup afterwards. There was more saw dust leftover than I anticipated. Regardless, I would recommend and would hire again for further projects."

"The renovation of my two bathrooms was handling professionally, competently and efficiently from the planning stage to the end results. My questions were answered quickly and completely and any concerns were handled immediately. The staff from the contractor, Trevor, on impressed me with their knowledge, skill, and their work ethic. The bathrooms are beautiful! I heartily recommend this company."

"Timber did a great job on our house. We had the initial obstacle of the first contractor we hired being unable to complete the job. This is how we came across Timber. He picked up where the other company left off, repairing unsatisfactory work done by the first contractor. His workmanship showed when he had to come up with some creative solutions using the materials available to him. He was a great communicator and completed the job to our satisfaction, within the timeframe we agreed upon, and for a very fair price."

"Listen to us when we say that these guys are the best. Peter isn’t just a contractor, he’s a visionary, and he quickly becomes a friend. Thanks to his patience, dedication, and guidance, our home was transformed into more than we could have imagined. These days, you can barely get contractors to return calls and finish projects, Peter and his team are the opposite. He was there to walk us through everything from start to finish, and helped us make sound decisions along the way. We trust him implicitly, and we just hope he’ll be available to work with us on our future projects :) Before and after photos to come. We can’t thank you enough, Lux-Windoors!!"

"I've got a 112 year old hose that is pretty solid, but it had a cracked floor joist and part of the flooring wasn't properly supported. I hired Kristian and his team to install a couple of lally columns to support a carrying beam and sister a couple of floor joists. Many contractors wouldn't even return my call because I wasn't looking to complete a huge remodel job, but Kristian came over, gave me a fair verbal estimate on the spot, and worked with me on timing to complete the project. Not only that, but the solution wasn't overly complicated. The job was straightforward, completed exactly as described in the time described, and there was no scope creep. If I ever have a larger need, they'll certainly be my first call. I would highly recommend K&X construction if you need any services that they offer."

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
