"Kurt showed up on time and installed a shower door for my new Shower! He was very professional and kind with a very low cost to perform work that other carpenters turned down! He was very thorough and professional! I was so fortunate and lucky to have such a professional help me on this install when so many turned the task down! He cleaned up the area and spent sometime assisting me on another project in near future! I highly recommend Kurt to anyone who requires a job completed to Professional done with amazing expertise and very reasonable price! Thank you Sir! Leo USN RET"

"Bryan Costello did an amazing job on my front deck. I told him what I was looking for, and we came up with a plan. He’s very passionate about his work. He was surprisingly considerate to my work schedule. I am glad I found him. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to do future projects with him."

"McDonald Construction did a great job installing new Zoysia sod in my front yard. Workers did a good job. One of my next door neighbor had hers done the next week, and the neighbor on the other side is going to have theirs done also. They saw what a good job he did on my lawn,"

"We hired this certified Trex installer to demolish our old deck/supports and build a new 500 sq. ft. Trex deck. The crew?Trent and Ryan?were wonderful. They were highly skilled, meticulous, and careful. The company was extremely responsive to all our questions, requests, and requirements. They did a beautiful job. We would hire them again."

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.

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.
