"I cannot begin to say enough about Don's craftsmanship. When my wife and I encountered an emergency remodel that was necessary to complete on a short turnaround in our son's nursery, Don answered the call. His quote to install a bay window seat with built in cubby holes for our son's books matched his exact quote, work was completed on time, the work met our expectations to the letter, and Don was excellent on communicating the entire time. I highly his services recommend."

"Work was drawn out due to our vacation and several unexpected out-of-state funerals. Communication with CGC office staff was 2.5 (on 5 point scale). A payment schedule - when and how much - should have been explained in advance. The work: removed steel bathtub and tile surround, plumbing relocated, new cement board, fancy tile, new plumbing fixtures and glass shower doors installed. Wallpapered dining room walls had light plaster coat first applied to smooth out existing orange peel texture. Excellent attention to pattern matching. Paper waste was minimized."

"I had a 400 square foot detached garage that had been used as my husbands work shop and I decided to renovate it and make it a guest cottage by extending it 420 more square feet.  Looked up remodeling contractors on Angies list to help me in my selection.  I found Steppen & Spaulding listed as well as others and received quotes from them as well as three others.  My choice after reviewing Steppen & Spaulding's contract was made.  They did exactly what their contract stated with the exception of when it came to the fill for the septic system requiring more fill due to changes in the counties rules regarding septic systems; at a slight increase in cost for the fill.  Project started in November 2012 and completed in August 2013.  They were very accommodating throughout the whole process and I am very pleased with the end results.  Would definetly hire them again. Trusted them as well with the selection of their sub-contractors. What impressed me the most was that they cleaned up the work site at the end of each work day on the project and required that of any sub-contactor as well.  Not one to be able to visualize the concept of a structure from a drawing on paper (blueprint) to the finished product; I had to put a lot of faith in Dan Spaulding and Thomas Steppen. Thank you Dan, Thomas and Jay.  I am very happy with the finished product and the wonderful work you did. Would reccomend your company anytime.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
