"Dave and his team are top notch. Dave listens to your ideas and offers some wonderful ideas of his own. He started the 6 week job on time and finished on time. His team were professional, courteous and, most of all, very tidy. They cleaned up the mess everyday. Dave was recommended to me by a neighbor that renovated their home. In fact he is here again right now building a mantle for my center fireplace. I will also hire him to install a tile back splash over my stove. His prices are very reasonable and competitive with other contractors out there. I am now living full time in a home that previously I lived in April through October. It has been warm and cozy all winter long. I love my year round home! I highly recommend Dave and his team for any or your building or renovation needs, be it large or small."

"

A few years ago, we interviewed several top-rated contractors from Angie?s List to add a bathroom to our first floor. Dennis Fecteau of A+D Renovations was our favorite of the bunch?he took careful measurements, suggested solutions, and presented a formal proposal. In the end, we decided not to move forward with the work?

BUT, fast forward 3 years: Last fall we moved into a new house that needed a LOT more work. Dennis was first on my list to call! He came to our home three different times to ensure an accurate proposal for all the different projects we wanted to do. Dennis always arrived on time, with a friendly smile and ready for the day. He usually brought a team with him (Marky and Kenny), and they were also extremely friendly, polite, and conscientious about caring for our home. They were so sweet to my 18-month old daughter as well! Occasionally, Dennis brought in subcontractors (electric and heating), and they were great too. I never had a single concern about leaving them in my home day after day?in fact, Dennis even offered to let my dog out on days that we had to leave the dog at home! They always asked permission before doing anything?for example, during the bathroom demolition process, they wanted to dispose of the material out a second floor window in order to avoid dragging it down our stairs and damaging the walls. They laid out protective coverings on the floors and window sill, and you would never even know that was the path they took! They always cleaned up nicely at the end of each day.



Dennis displayed a high degree of professionalism in everything from the proposal to taking the time to clearly explain all my options?right down to the trim used on the new microwave shelf. No task was too big or small?he treated each one with equal care. And any extra work (outside of the contract) was always detailed in writing in an invoice so I could clearly see the fees, which were fairly priced.


I highly recommend A+D renovations for any kind of work you may need in your home. I look forward to having Dennis and his team back in my home for another project someday.

"True North Contacting stepped in as the replacement for a contractor that I hired and then never showed up to do the job. They were prompt, professional and are the only reason that my project was successful. The workmanship was superior, and the detailed tile work they did came out beautiful. There are so many contractors to choose from in these times, but True North is above and beyond the rest. Look no further if you want an honest professional contractor that not only shows up, but also provides amazing workmanship at a fair price."

"Kaydn was great to deal with! It was very refreshing to work with a contractor who acted like he wanted your business. I've had dealings with a couple different contractors in this process and Kaydn was extremely responsive, did fantastic work and the price was great! I will definitely reach out to K & A Renovations for my next project."

"We hired Garrett  to build an attached mudroom and garage to our home.  After interviewing many contractors, we decided to go with Garrett. Don't let his age  scare you. We found him to be hard working, honest, caring fair and professional.  We were very impressed with his quote. Everything was spelled out. None of our other quotes were broken down like Garrett's.  During the work if there was any issue, Garrett dealt with it immediately.      We would highly  recommend Garrett R Gerard Construction and if we build anything again we would definitely  use Garrett again."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
