"Perfect. They did excellent work. Very professional and very clean as well. I don't think another carpenter could have done what needed to be done as well as Carlos did. I am extremely pleased."

"I live out of state and had an investment property that i needed to sell.  Originally I called a couple of my contractor friends to quote/perform the jobs and they left me stranded.  I turned to Angie's list I found Sead here on Angie's list because of his #1 ranking and called him for a quote.  He responded immediately, arranged to quote the job the next day, visited the job site and gave me a fair quote and time frame to complete the job.  Once i was ready to commence, I called him during the Christmas Holidays and he managed to start work within a day or two of my call.  Upon inspection by the city, it was determined i needed additional work to get the home compliant to sell, I called Sead again and he was able to quote and commence the job immediately thereafter.  
Thanks to his professionalism, and quality of his work, the house passed certification and i was able to get it sold.  
Sead solved the problems i've been dreading for the last 10yrs.  Thank you for your professionalism and craftsmanship.

Customers say: True professional

"After getting new wood floors installed, Jesus installed custom baseboards upstairs and down. He was professional, meticulous, honest and straightforward with every detail. He took special time and care to make sure it was perfect. It's hard to find people who not only do carpentry, but are experts at mouldings. Jesus is, in my opinion, an expert. He also created custom built bookshelves for our bedroom and we could not be happier with his work and work ethic. We will use him for all of our projects from now on. There is a huge difference between a handiman and a craftsman. Jesus is a CRAFTSMAN."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
