"Removed old deck within a couple of hours.The new deck was installed the next day with 90 % completion. Finished product was beyond my expectations, work was performed at good time frame and crew very professional. Excellent quality of work and I would highly recommend to anyone needing concrete, deck, or fence work. New deck is 12x16 and is definitely safer than my old deck"

"We were very happy with the work Edwin and his team did. They framed out our unfinished basement, unfinished drywall and painted. They put in extra time and care to make sure everything was done properly. We will definitely hire him and his team for future projects."

"I can't say enough about Harry! He completely renovated my (total gut job) rental. He stripped the house down to the framing, including replacement of loadbearing walls! The entire house is brand new and beautiful! He is trustworthy, reasonably priced and takes much pride in his work! Harry has also completed many projects in my residence! I promise, you will not be disappointed!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.
