"I was buying a new house, the home inspector had some questions about the attic joists and suggested I have a professional take a look at them. I needed it done quickly and I called three contractors. Matt from MMP was the only one that called me back the same day and agreed to come look at them the next day. He showed up on time, suggested a remedy and gave me an estimate. After buying the house I had him complete the work. It was done as promised in a very tight and dirty attic space, they cleaned up before leaving. I also chose Matt to replace my roof after getting three estimates. The crew did the complete job, chimney flashing, ice and water shield, small roof repair and venting channels in the attic. Clean up was great, no mess left in the yard. He was not the lowest estimate but all the work was done without any additional charges. I was very pleased with the results."

Customers say: Quick response

"We interviewed 3 contractors for our kitchen remodel when I finally did an google search for local contractors in my area. I read a review of Jack from Strong Builders that was so impactful, it actually brought me to tears. We met with Jack and could not have be happier with our decision. Jack is a rare find these days. He is trust worthy, reliable and very skilled at what he does. Jack showed up day one of the project, parked his trailer and was there 6 days a week, 8-10 hrs a day! He is organized, methodical and keeps a clean job site. He was very honest about the expectations of the project, when minor issues arose, they were handled and addressed with ease. Jack works diligently to see the project through to completion with his goal of “no callbacks”. Strong Builders, one guy, one project at a time. I would recommend him over and over!"

"I had a similar experience to others who have reviewed Ayotte Home Improvements. I hired them for a complete kitchen and mudroom remodel. Bob and his sidekick are the two main characters and they have a group of very competent sub contractors that they bring in depending on your project requirements. From the initial meeting to completion, Bob was very easy to work with. He is fully engaged during the process, keeps you informed, keeps the project moving, and insists on high quality. In my opinion you can't go wrong with them."

"The value for money from C.P. Construction and Carpentry outstanding. Any issues that I had as they were doing the work they quickly rectified. I would definitely recommend them for any sort of remodeling work. We had a complete tear down and rebuild of two bathrooms, with the addition of a shower in one. Everything worked out well. They also tiled the floor in our kitchen and took care of some wall reconstruction in our laundry area."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

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.
