"Top notch! It was a complicated day. Many workers in a small area. Blake focused on getting a lovely wooden fence completed with many feet and trucks shuffling around a small area. He remained congenial and flexible with the whole crowd working. And the fence was complete with all the hardware I requested. I highly recommend him."

"I can’t recommend Frank at Curtis Construction LLC highly enough. As an out-of-state homeowner, I needed to coordinate a long list of repairs remotely to get a property listed quickly. Frank made time to meet with me during a brief trip to Central Maine, then seamlessly took over once I returned home. He scheduled everything immediately, rebuilt a deck, repaired entry stairs, and tackled a range of other items with speed and precision. His communication was clear, his follow-through impeccable, and his professionalism gave me total peace of mind. Thanks to Frank’s efficiency and quality work, the home was market-ready in no time and sold quickly. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsive, and easy to work with—even from a distance—Curtis Construction is the one to call."

"We chose Conley, Inc to completely remodel two bathrooms in an older farmhouse in Belgrade. Their craftsmanship was outstanding and we are thrilled with the results. They were extremely flexible on the scheduling, so we always had a functional bathroom. They made great decisions to help us make the most out of some smaller spaces, while helping us get the most out of our budget. Great folks, personally, as well."

"Guys were professional and knew their stuff. Arrived on time,too. Solved my issue in 15 minutes. 'Was completely unprepared for the over $500 bill! My regular electrician was too busy but this was a fire hazard which demanded immediate attention. Wouldn't book with Baker's company again just because of outrageous price."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes wall damage, but some holes for anchors or brackets are necessary for secure attachment. These can be easily patched if the bed is removed in the future, leaving your walls looking like new. Hiring a professional Murphy bed installer helps ensure minimal and repairable impact.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
