"Extremely pleased with both the level of professionalism and customer service. Martin and his assistants went above and beyond what I expected. Very positive experience, which has been rare in our recent construction experiences. On time, quality work, does what he says and has great ideas. You can tell he is a true carpenter/designer that loves his work. We highly recommend and have already requested him for future projects."

"I hired Coy and his team as GC for a house flip project in Bloomington. I have worked with a lot of general contractors in my day, and this was by far the most pleasant experience I have ever had! The attention to detail was wonderful. The timeliness was perfect and the attitudes were superb. Coy clearly takes pride in what he does, and his team really like working for him. It is tough to find good workers these days, but I have to say it was a complete joy to work with them, and I kept throwing new challenges at them. I will miss not seeing them daily. I can not recommend them enough."

Hi there! I have about 9 years of experience with home remodeling, house flips, and currently I am focused more on carpentry (custom closets, interior/exterior trim, etc.) and flooring. I am still open to most home repair needs. I am new to Angi, but feel free to check out some photos of my work in the project photos. I am also willing to share more photos. Feel free to email me at [email protected] or call/text at 3179032308. Thanks!

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Brandon met us on time and provided us with a complete, written estimate.  He and his crew appeared when promised, and worked hard from the time they got there until they left.  No long lunches, smoke breaks etc.  The work was very professional and thorough, and Brandon and his crew were the kind of people we felt comfortable having in our house.  The entire  crew communicated well with us, and showed a commitment to doing the job completely to our satisfaction.  We have used other painters in the past, and First Choice was far and away the best we have used.  We have already recommended them to others, and will hire them again for an upcoming project.

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.

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.
