"Excellent craftsmanship but be flexible. We hired Andrew to build us new stairs for our front porch: only three steps with railing to match the porch and to add boards to seal up the open gap leading under the porch. The work was completed in a couple days and everything came out great. While here he was courteous and friendly, and provided us good advice about the wood before we went to painting it ourselves. There were some delays during the work, but we weren't in a rush. It was also around Thanksgiving. The communication could have been a little better, but it was not show-stopper. Life gets in the way for all of us. I'm glad he shared photos of his deck work and like reading the other positive reviews, because our deck is probably the next big project for the house."

"I can’t say enough on how happy I am with my new kitchen drawers. The house was built in 1960 and all the cabinets are made of solid wood accept the drawers. He built new drawers with the soft close. And also put the shelves for me to just pull out for my pots. They did great job and as for me I will give them a 5 star. Not to mention how professional he was. Looking now to get my kitchen cabinets painted. The price was better than anyone else I received estimates from."

"A very skilled, knowledgeable and professional carpenter that I would recommend to any of my family or friends. The price for my two jobs were justified and in line with other interviewees that did not have the skills and abilities of his company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
