"If you are looking for the best contractor for the job, Bill Varney and Varney's Construction is the best possible solution; their prices came in at the best and I know the other bidders would have gone well over their bids. Bill and his team are thoughtful, hard-working, good to their word, and exceptional at getting the job done right. See pictures of how they transformed my kitchen below. My summary points of why I really liked them are below for review.
***1. Bill has a meticulous eye for detail and design. Even after my final payment to him, he was still making suggestions on things to run by me such as stainless steel switch plate covers (and considering what type of bar stool design I should think about buying). We completed the contract last week with all money paid and he is still coming out this week on his own (not by my request either) to fix something "that was bothering him and to do one more little touch-up." If that doesn't speak to being good to your word and loyal to perfection on your project, I don't know what does.
***2. He and his company are flexible with your preferences and adapt to your desires. He's great at taking a picture in your mind and actually making it happen.
***3. Open to your ideas but has the sense to tell you nicely when something might look bad. He saved me from a couple possible bad design choices.
***4. He has an excellent knowledge of structural options. I had to remove a load-bearing wall and he was the only 1 of 6 contractors that said he could actually recess it into the roof trusses so that it wouldn't be seen versus having a rafter/beam running through my kitchen (either the others didn’t know how it could be done or they didn’t want the hassle). Either way; he and his team aren’t afraid of hard work and they do it the right way the first time.
***5. His network of specialists (if needed) are inexpensive and do exceptional work (i.e. architects, engineers, etc.). They also show up fast to do the work (2-4 days of him calling them). I had to do a roof penetration for the kitchen which was outside of our arrangement and it only cost $450 (“Winter Park prices” come in at about $750+ to do this type of thing). He also had an engineer/architect sign off and do the plan for the structural changes (removal of the load-bearing wall, etc. for the permit) within a matter of days and it was half of what I found elsewhere for getting an architect/engineer approval on a structural change for City approval.
***6. He and his team work extremely well with the City of Winter Park on permitting. The City of Winter Park/Planning Division was really impressed with the quality of his work and commented on how he went above and beyond what was necessary for their inspections.
***7. He and his team passed all inspections the first time (electrical, mechanical, plumbing – I had the works including bringing in higher Amp line from outside to accommodate the greater electricity usage).
SUMMARY: Varney Construction was the best deal money-wise, had the highest quality work, and finished the job without any effort or hassle on my end. I cannot recommend enough!"

The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and the project was completed with clear communication throughout the entire process. Our new kitchen is beautiful.

"Gary and his team did a fantastic job! There was communication throughout the entire process, from start to finish. The attention to detail was top notch. Gary also took great care of my property, cleaning up every day and making sure his tools were not in our way. The craftsmanship and overall quality of his work is excellent. Overall great experience and so glad we found such a good contractor to work with from Angie’s List!"

"They did a beautiful job and are all are top notch guys. They are nice people and are easy to get a hold of. They took out a partial wall, put in new cabinets, counter tops, lighting and re-textured the walls and the ceiling. In the bathroom they replaced everything including the flooring. I used to be an insurance adjuster and I have seen a lot of work done in my previous years. This company is one of the best. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again."

"Highly recommend! Juan and Joel were very good to work with! They did a fabulous job and went above and beyond. They searched for soft close hardware to fit our cabinets and drove an hour each way to pick up the proper hinges. They show up on time and finished in record time! Would highly recommend Juan and Joel at Classy Restoration!"

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
