"Rick Lacey and his team arrived each morning around 8am and stayed on the job until it was completed. Some days even working in the rain. I would highly recommend him for installing new decks and repairing older ones. Very honest and upfront on estimate and making adjustments to the construction for securing to existing deck."

"Eric came over to look at the job and determine what parts were needed and the vendor to use. He ordered the necessary materials, set a date to do the work. He arrived on time ready to work. There was quite a bit of manipulation of the railings to get them to fit. He kept until they were finished. Good work, very polite. Cleaned up work space before he left."

"Wow! Doug is the most amazing contractor I have ever worked with. He did a beautiful job on our front porch re-build and was truly helpful in offering suggestions as I was not really sure what I wanted to do as far as materials and design. He was always in touch, he did exactly what he said he was going to do and he did it when he said he would. Plus his work is absolutely beautiful and professionally done. We love our new porch - thank you so much Doug!!"

"I had an excellent experience with this carpentry company. They came out to repair my subfloor and joists, and the quality of their work was fantastic. They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way. I also really appreciated how respectful and courteous they were in my home. The repairs were done efficiently and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend them to anyone needing dependable, skilled carpentry work!"

"I have been dealing with contractors all my life in NY, NJ and PA. I bought 2 properties in Hartwell, GA which I did and still doing work on both. I hired Jeff for a small project in one of my houses and after I saw the type of work he did I was amazed with the dedication, professionalism and outstanding work he did. Long story short he is currently remodeling both of my homes and every day I get more and more impressed with his work. I highly recommend Jeff/ company to everyone looking for an excellent job from A to Z and peace of mind."

Carpentry FAQs, 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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
