"Claudio was fantastic. He responded to my initial inquiry quickly, gave a very honest and informed assessment of my situation and a recommended repair. He was great about staying in touch and came out and got the project done in one day with very high quality work."

"Having worked with many contractors and been disappointed with the quality of the work and the experience, I found Byam Construction to be oustanding on all levels. Roger is very knowledgeable and communicative. His estimates are thorough yet concise and his pricing is competitive. The carpenters were professional, timely and detail oriented. I appreciated that everyone took the extra steps to make this a great job. Roger fit me in his schedule faster than anticipated and the carpenters were very thorough and experienced. If you can't tell, I would highly recommend Byam Construction, they were amazing. I'm thrilled to have found them!"

"Mr. McCann does high quality work at a good price. He is very experienced and did a beautiful job creating and installing a rounded gutter as well as installing straight gutters and downspouts. He also installed a flat roof, installed roofing on the rest of the house, replaced cedar shingles, and did some other carpentry. It is a pleasure to work with Mr. McCann. He is trustworthy and is an excellent communicator and meets deadlines. I particularly value his directness and honesty in assessing the best approach to the work at hand and telling me what needs to be done immediately and what can be done later ( I have an older house). I never felt he pressured me to do more work than was needed. Mr. McCann takes great pride in the quality of his work and in treating his customers fairly."

Customers say: Quick response

"Matt has done great work for us of varying sizes requiring different skills! 1. Fully renovated a 2 bay garage into a game room with a separate laundry. 2. Built a lattice fence surround for my 500 gallon propane tank - it gently masks the tank and provides a place for climbing roses! 3. Rebuilt a pergola that had rotted. 4. Replaced an eyebrow window and trim. Matt gives a solid estimate, stays on track and goes the extra mile to make sure you’re satisfied. Will continue to use him for all carpentry projects! Thank you Matt!"

"We had Paulo paint and stain the exterior of our house two years ago and he did such a great job at a good price we hired him recently for a complete bathroom remodel, a new floor in another bathroom and putting a skylight in my den. He is an expert with logistics - materials and workers arrived as needed, all on a tight schedule, all expert at what they did and all very amiable. Paulo himself loves his work, enjoys design and selection of materials, and is good at it. He stopped by every day to oversee progress and was done in about ten days. His bid was well below the other bid I received. Many people have since complimented the work. He has a foreman who checks all work and does much of it himself, Daniel Peixoto, who is both an extraordinarily hard worker and is masterful on tile and carpentry projects. I truly believe that Paulo's attitude affects his whole crew, giving them a friendly and considerate approach to their work and a real attention to detail."

"We had vinyl plank flooring installed in our summer home. Given that we werenâ t there, communication was excellent. Eduardo sent pics throughout the process. He answered all of my questions promptly. Quality of work was excellent. They started earlier than expected and finished quickly. Over 1000 sq ft installed in 4 days along with full removal and disposal of wall to wall carpet. Everything was returned back to where it belonged which made minimal work for us to begin to enjoy the floors! I would highly recommend Eduardo and his staff to work in your home."

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.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
