He provided and estimate for the exterior painting only (other bids had come in with about 10 hours carpentry estimated into the bid--- which was well short of the actual work needed-and so I would have had significant overruns to have the house correctly repaired and painted). His forthrightness in identifying that I had significant enough carpentry work that I would be advised to get a separate bid and have it done prior to painting was on target advice and made me choose Gary Knowlton for the job over other vendors. Gary Knowlton's team first power washed my home and deck (deck was a real mess and hats off to team for spending an extra day getting my composite deck clean with significant added effort)...after the house had fully dried out the painting began the painting team was methodical, experienced, and well focused on the details. Most importantly they took feedback at each point of the job and ADDRESSED THEM FULLY with courtesy and respect. At no time did I feel I was a burden to the company (by being fairly demanding with respect to my fussiness about details). It is not common to find contractors that assure your job is an A quality job. Gary and his team (Juan was my excellent foreman). I highly recommend them for exterior house painting.

He let me know that he would be starting in a couple of weeks, and that's exactly when he called to tell me he planned to come the next day to do some of the initial carpentry work. A week after that his crew showed up and did a great job with the painting. They were there about 4 days to put 2 coats on the house which looks great. At all times Sam let me know what was going on, and his crew was excellent. It was definitely a positive experience working with Sam and he will be the first person I look to when I need to paint the inside.

""Outstanding Kitchen Transformation!" We recently had our kitchen refaced by Jesse Dugan, Kitchen Tune-Up and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Jesse and Dave were professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled. Jesse took the time to understand our project and provided expert guidance on design options. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and our kitchen looks brand new! The attention to detail in every corner is impressive, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. Our space is now modern, fresh, and it's truly a joy to cook and entertain in. Not only did they complete the project on time, but they also made sure the area was clean and tidy each day. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and we always felt confident in their ability to deliver. We highly recommend Jesse Dugan, Kitchen Tune-Up for anyone looking to reface their kitchen."

"Buyer BEWARE and BE Forewarned My project with this company has been pure exploitation. He overpromises, underdelivers, and talks down to clients. Hiring him was a huge mistake. I paid nearly 30% more than the original $260,000 quote, even though the project was reduced in size. Final cost: about $330,000?enough to buy a new house. He was unprepared for the wetlands hearing, denied prior agreements, and claimed my $60,000 payment was for work worth less than $3,000. Hidden costs appeared that any reputable contractor would have included upfront. He twists words, insists you ?don?t understand,? and pretends to help while helping only himself. For a simple job he might be passable, but for any addition, reconstruction, or major work, avoid this company. Always demand everything itemized with clear expected delivery dates before signing or paying, or you risk the same costly exploitation."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
If nail pops in your drywall aren't fixed, there can be consequences to the structure of your home and the aesthetics of the room. Nail pops may loosen or weaken drywall and may be less effective at providing support and insulation, ultimately requiring more extensive repairs or replacement in the future. If not fixed, the blemish will become increasingly unsightly over time, potentially leading to further damage as raised areas easily catch on objects or clothing.
You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.
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.
