"Paul and his company MPT Enterprises are the type of remodeling contractor you could ever hope for. Being our first full remodeling projects, we were nervous about shoddy workmanship and cutting corners. Paul is not about any of that. He treated our projects as if he was constructing in his own home. From day one he communicated his daily expectations and any impacts we needed to be aware of. He always responded to questions and communicated well via text and pictures while we were both at work. He was flexible with project changes and always provided his feedback based upon his experience. Paul and his protege Martin always arrived on schedule and were flexible working around our busy schedules. We found them both to be very trustworthy in our home after we got to know them. They insisted on keeping the work area and rest of the house as clean as possible during the project. At the end of each day they would roll up all drop clothes and vacuum around the area. Both Paul and Martin are extremely skilled craftsmen for which we were great full for. They laid out our tile and discussed options with staggering the pattern. Their skills at cutting and placing the tile to the requested pattern were flawless. In addition, their grouting and caulking lines were very smooth and clean. They also excelled with their carpentry skills which showed on our recessed medicine cabinet and new vanities. Thanks to their dedication and detailed work, both of our bathrooms exceeded our original expectations. We both liked Paul's work and attitude so much, that we asked him to look at a sliding patio door problem at my mothers home. Paul stopped by a few days later and ended up replacing all the rollers on the door to get it working smoothly again as opposed to totally replacing the door. He is an all around skilled tradesman that has served our needs well, and we recommend him and his company MPT Enterprises."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

"Chester and his team were very respectful of working in our home while we were also working from home. They were able to diagnose and fix our plumbing issue, including completely replacing all the cabinets that had been damaged beyond repair. Job was done in a timely manner - especially given the extent of the water damage. Chester and his team were the only contractors who agreed to take on the repairs, after we had several contractors/companies say the job was too big for them. 10/10 would hire again (though hopefully we won't need to!)"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
