"Maverick Maintenance and Construction did a fantastic job on my project. Their team was highly responsive right from the start and maintained excellent communication while they worked. They are truly wonderful folks to deal with, and I already plan on using them again for a bigger project down the road."

Customers say: Quick response

"Before my wife and I chose Michael (Post Construction), four other local and reputable contractors bid for a complete basement finish.  Everything from framing, electrical, plumbing, painting, tiling, and flooring.  Each contractor had to be insured and licensed to build in the county we live in as well as handle all proper permits.   Although Michael’s bid was reasonable in comparison, what impressed us the most during the walkthrough interview was that he had the right set of knowledge and skillset that gave us a sense of comfort and trust.  Before hiring Michael, we also confirmed references from other contractors who highly recommended his work. Each stage of construction was scheduled and managed well especially when issues needed to be addressed.  For instance, when the tile supplier originally supplied the wrong colored tile for the bathroom,  Michael’s team quickly resolved the issue with the supplier to order and deliver the correct tile and rescheduled the tile work all of which was completed in less than a week. His 27 years of professional experience was demonstrated well especially in some of the smallest details.  For example, knowing to apply an extra measure of caulking behind the trim and crown molding to prevent rope lighting from penetrating through the seams.  He provided plenty of helpful suggestions to improve aesthetics such as covering the electrical panel with a custom-made door to match the trim. We are certainly very pleased with the results and the decision to go with Post Construction.  We have additional long-term remodeling ideas in the future that we will definitely consider re-hiring Post Construction to perform the work."

"In August 2013, we hired them to repair soffits, eaves, and yankee gutters. The house is 100 years old, is still all-wood, and we are very particular about having things fixed properly to last another 100 years. It is also 3 stories tall, so some areas were 25' high. They properly repaired broken and missing corners, replacing the wood and then priming and painting the areas. They sealed the yankee gutters (not many people know how to work with this style of internally-built gutter) and made everything look like new. They came when they said they would and worked on the job until it was finished. No starting then gone for two weeks and finishing later like some contractors do. We got what we paid for, and extra (they painted other areas that needed touchup "while they were up there"). They came quickly, gave a quote, and stuck to the quote. We plan on hiring them again this spring to build a new deck on the back of the house. Very very satisfied!"

"The quality of work performed was amazing. The workers were all very professional. They were very willing to go over the job before work had started to ensure I was getting exactly what I wanted. They were also understanding and willing when I wanted to change a few things during the process. Overall I would hire this company again for any remodeling I need."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, 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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
