"Provider was punctual and professional. They seemed knowledgeable of the services they were recommending. Pricing seemed a little on the high side for what we were wanting done. Maybe prices were in line for what they were proposing. We requested cabinet resurfacing, granite, backsplash and lighting. Their recommendation was for cabinet replacement. They did not do cabinet resurfacing."

"I contacted Raven less about 2 days prior to having the work performed. Raven did not only respond immediately, and came to do an estimate next day, he had the best price and was able to do the work immediately. Raven explained in detail what he was going to do and why and I am very happy with the deck renovation. Will definitely hire again and recommend him to all friends and family members."

"

Company was right on time; showed up with 2 workmen. They worked really fast, splitting up the jobs. Originally I only was going to have 3 jobs completed, but they finished those so quickly I added a fourth (I was lucky and glad I had an extra job ready; it was one I was going to do myself). Even with that, the workers were finished within about 45 minutes.

All the jobs were completed perfectly, with the exception of one. I had told the worker that I wanted the new shower head installed because the old one was leaking. When he installed the new one, it still leaked. So, I had to hire another contractor to fix that. Technically, he did exactly what I asked, but I did mark down one grade on quality because it didn't fix the problem, which I had told him about.

The workers cleaned up everything pretty well.

If you use the company, make sure you have every part, even the smallest washers, nuts, and bolts, for the job before the workers start. As far as I know they carry no parts at all, only tools.

"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

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.

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.

The cost to convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.
