"The workers that came (Lenny and the guys) were great. Knowledgeable, professional and very friendly. They remodeled the entire kitchen in a 70 year old home and made it look beautiful and functional. They were here when they said and cleaned up each day when they were done. Took only 4 days start to finish. I would highly recommend this company for you remodeling needs"

"Greg is personable, professional, took his time in determining the best placement of the lights, and discussed it with me. I was very surprised that it took so little time to complete the job. The workmanship was superb and I've never seen such clean cuts through drywall, with so little dust, and minuscule Patching. Unlike a number of contractors I've worked with, he cleaned up the area nicely and returned the items he had to remove, even straightening the painting in the wall! Greg is a find.

"Scott was great! He was punctual, knowledgeable, and professional. On the hottest day of the year so far, he went up on the roof to re-seal our skylights and did a quick but thorough job. Highly recommend!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.

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. 

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
