"We called LAR Construction for a kitchen remodel project. After talking to several other contractors we decided to go with Lar Construction and are so happy with their work! I love my new kitchen! It was a pleasure to work with Sharon and his team - they were very responsive, professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend them!!"

"There was quite a lot of work to do and for a project this size we did not expect everything to go perfectly.   For the most part, we are very satisfied and would use them again, but not for all projects.   We thought the price was very fair.   The price they quoted was for labor, tile and hardwood.   We paid Lowes and Home Depot separately for paint, vanities, bathroom faucets & hardware, new tub, and misc supplies.  The crew that did the travertine tile installation and bathroom renovations did a great job.   We are also extremely pleased with the hardwood floor installation and refinishing of existing hardwood floor.   Prior to starting the work, a gentleman met us at the tile store and helped us pick out the new bathroom tile -- this was very helpful and much appreciated.  Our main disappointment was with the painters.   They had problems with their spraying equipment and seemed haphazard in their approach to the project -- trim in one room would be done but not the walls, walls in another room would be done but not the trim, half a wall would be painted and then they would move to another room, eventually everything was painted correctly and looked great but the painters slowed down the entire project causing it to take longer than expected.  There were other minor issues that were eventually resolved to our satisfaction.   We would use 2hireahandyman again but we would hire someone else for any painting projects.

"I am extremely pleased with the quality of work, professionalism and follow-up demonstrated by the owner (Charles Green) and his team. We have used G&G several times over the years, although this was the first really big job we had. Mr. Green helped with difficult questions and issues I had initially getting the fair market value from my insurance company. Also G&G recommended sub-contractors to do our tile and plumbing work which did a great job as well. I will definitely use G&G again and would highly recommend this company."

Unfinished 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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
