"Kurt did a great job and was very efficient. He was able to repair all rot, and at a fraction of the cost of several other estimates. He repaired several window frames and replaced some of the baseboards. I was worried about having to replace siding, but only one small piece had to be replaced. Kurt is a great contractor and is very reliable and honest. We are planning to hire him to do more work on the back of our house."

"I’m very pleased with the service and work I received from Timber Wolf contractors and his crew. He contacted me and arranged a time to look at the work I needed done. He promptly sent me a quote. He set up a time between our schedules to build my spiral staircase and replace a window with a vent. He arrived on time and completed the job beyond my satisfacon. I was so pleased with the results and communication I received, that I hired them to come to my other home to install "Flooring for my sunroom, pantry and hallway. They also painted trim and upgraded my hardware on my kitchen cabinets. I felt very comfortable with Timber and left him a key so I could go to work. I highly recommend Timber Wolf contractors for your home projects, they are professional, polite and hardworking. Respectfully, A. Saint"

"This contractor is first class in every aspect of their work. Starting with the estimate process, there’s no uncertainty with what they are doing. They provide a very detailed estimate and it’s clear what’s included and what is not. Very refreshing to see the details described in their estimates. Their work is second to none and every employee is kind and addresses any question you have right away. They actually make you feel like you’re their best and only customer. This is our 4th home and we’ve worked with contractors for over 20 years, I’ve never seen such attention to detail and high quality work before. This contractor takes their time and even when no one is looking, they will redo things to make it perfect. My wife and I were happy with the work and there were some very minor items they didn’t like when they did the final inspection/walk through and they fixed it on their nickel. We didn’t even notice it but their attention to detail picked it up. You can’t find a better contractor to work on your home. We’ve spoken to others that have used them and it’s the same story. We’ve never heard a bad word about them or their work. They were prompt, there were no hidden costs and the work was perfect. If you’re looking for high quality work and great customer service, Gove Restoration has it all."

"If youâ re looking for an honest, trustworthy, skilled, reliable, reasonably priced and professional contractor to bring your home renovation vision to life then look no further than Noah Garvey and his crew. We couldnâ t be happier with our new bathroom he just completed for us. From our first meeting with Noah we knew we found the right person and company for the job. He listened to our ideas, offered suggestions and organized a plan to meet our needs. His communication and flexibility throughout the process was remarkable and his work was impeccable and completed in the timeframe we discussed. Weâ ll be using Noah and his crew for future home projects and referring everyone I know without hesitation. A great professional but more importantly a great guy too."

"I had started remodeling efforts on my own, but soon realized my skills only went so far. So I looked around for contractors that fit in my budget. As well as contractors with documented good record. I was very pleased with the work that was done. The results exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to reach out to this contractor again for future home improvements."

"I dealt with the owner Paul who really understands all homes are not alike. He gave me options and didn't try and push some deal of the month on me. He was able to custom order what I needed and install it professionally. He even painted the trim and cleaned up the mess!"

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
