"This was more than putting a new deck & pergola on. We had a glass sunroom that they removed as well. I was so impressed with the care they took to not break any of the glass. Then came the beautiful new deck! They explained everything that they would be doing & gave me wonderful choices of materials. They even helped me put in a permanent flag pole in my yard! I could not be happier with how easy Kyle, Dave & Chris were to work with, the quality of the materials and how absolutely gorgeous our new deck and pergola are. I highly recommend them."

"I love the new window they installed in my living room. They responded quickly to my request for a quote and scheduled an appointment for the next day. They were very friendly, professional and dependable. They committed to a time frame to complete the project and it was done within that time. Grant responded to questions promptly. I would highly recommend R&B Remodeling."

"After purchasing an Angie's List Deal, I received the measuring kit in the mail promptly. The template and instructions provided to draw my split table top and each of the leaves were easy to use and understand. I mailed the completed materials and received the table pads very quickly. The table splits in the middle to allow insertion of up to 3 additional leaves. The table also has 2 drop leaves. That's 7 pads. All fit perfectly. I have used them on the table for family parties (not every day) and they're durable and built to last. I keep them in the box they arrived in to protect them when not in use. These are a worthwhile investment."

"We were nothing but impressed from our first interaction with Ken and Linda Buford.  They returned our initial call immediately and even came out that night to assess the project's time and cost.  We received a written estimate and paint samples in very timely manner.  Once we scheduled the job, Ken and Linda worked as a team to prep and paint the area.  Their attention to detail was evident from the start of the work.  The work was extremely thorough and done quickly.  I would consider myself a "picky" client and they definitely exceeded my expectations. The edging and trim work were clean and the lines were impeccable. They use 2 coats of quality paint.  They cleaned up everything and left no messes. I appreciated that they listened carefully to what we wanted done, gave us some suggestions and delivered a beautiful end result.  There was nothing I would have had them do differently.  Anymore, I don't think you find many talented, true professionals, like Ken, who can deliver such stellar results.  I would recommend them beyond a shadow of a doubt.  In fact, because they did such a fantastic job, we are having them paint the outside of our house as well."

"Joe did an outstanding job! He tackled a big job, in only 2 weeks! We had our upstairs living space + hallway, bathroom, stair banister and railings, and kitchen walls + trim, with the ceilings as well. Along with removing old wall paper throughout the house. We ended up adding the doors to be painted upstairs, with our bathroom vanity and kitchen cabinets. He had no problem adjusting to those additions. Not only was his work excellent, but him and his daughter were very nice and easy to get along with. Ypu can just tell he has a passion for his job, which is why his work is so awesome! His communication was also great! Would highly suggest for anyone looking for a change of fresh paint! We also plan to hire him again for some other home projects!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
