"Barry was very professional and very easy to work with. He is very good about video communicating and keep to his time and day. He was very flexible as well. Prior to the day of the repair I thought of replacing the current door with a sliding door so I reached out to Barry to see if he could come out and take a look at it. He made the trip and accommodated the change. On the day of the service he showed up close to the time agreed on and did a great job. He left the place clean and tidy after he was done and the job looks great. Will definitely think of him for any future needs."

"This is our second project in three years with Centennial. The first renovation of 1/2 the house went so well we invited them back to complete the job. We now have a fully restored home that truly reflects the vision we communicated to Brent Ash and his team. I highly recommend Centennial if you are considering updating your current house or building a new."

"The crew at Schwartz Solutions are awesome to work with. Nathan understood my project and the tear down was done in just hours and the build was done within the week. You will be glad you called them. Very professional, with excellent skills. I even got an outdoor butcher block. I will hire them again for my next carpentry job. Great work!!! Can't say it enough."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

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.

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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
