"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."

"Chris took my rough design, refined it and used his drawing for permitting and as a guide for subcontractors. Chris supervised excavation the foundation pour, utility connections and a variety of specialty contractors including plumbing and electrical, wallboard and plaster including the a very nice ceiling, windows and roofing. He did all the framing, rough and finish carpentry, flooring including tile, himself. There was no element of the build where he wasn’t intimately involved. Chris was considerate of my ideas, and enhanced and often expanded on the them. He was conscious of my budget and stretched my dollars without sacrificing quality. Two years later when a sliding door seal failed he replaced the door at no charge. My home is modest but “feels” bigger and more expensive than what it was. It is open concept with a lot of natural light. It takes advantage of passive solar heating and with my wood stove this 1800 square foot house makes it through the coldest winter without turning on the gas heat yet only consumed two cords of wood! It’s too bad Chris moved to the coast, contractors with integrity and skill are not easy to find. Our community’s loss, is Coastal Maine’s gain. I would be happy to recommend Chris to anyone in need of his many skills."

"I can’t say enough how impressed we were with Gutters by Design. Our house is small, a fixer-upper, and not near their base, but Trey and his team not only showed up, but were absolutely phenomenal through every stage of the process—from showing us the product firsthand, to designing a gutter system most effective for our needs, to explaining the cost breakdown in detail, to the actual installation. What was especially striking—and what really sets Trey apart from every other contractor we’ve worked with—was his thorough professionalism, punctuality, and clear, prompt, courteous communication. We had to be out of town when the work was done, and Trey was in communication about where they were at in the process, and shared photos of the work at finish, so we could feel confident in the outcome. Trey is that rarity: not only a contractor you can rely on to do exactly what he promises, on time, and deliver the best possible quality, but a true gem of a person, honorable, generous, and kind. Because of our rock-solid faith in Trey, we inquired if he knew of anyone who did masonry work, since we had a chimney to repair, had been ghosted by one mason we paid, and couldn’t get other contractors to call us back. Trey connected us with his uncle, with whom he works with on a wide range of jobs, and we’ve been very glad to hire them to repair our chimney, refinish our decks and help us solve a window leak. We can’t recommend Trey highly enough; he and his team have been true godsends."

"Nice family business. Had some trouble with some employees getting started but Costas and his dad always took over and made sure everything was great. They did most of the work themselves which was important to me that someone was always on site. My schedule is crazy. Iâ m often not home and I trusted them to be here and get the job done without my oversight. We ran into some challenges, even added a few more jobs to the project. He took in stride, eager for the work and honest and upfront about what he could do what needed to be done? I enjoyed working with him, so Iâ m giving him another 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."

"I met Dan Garvey through Angie’s list when i found a home I wanted to purchase, the bank needed an estimate on how much work needed to be done. I contacted Angie’s list and Dan amongst others reached out for the job . After reading & researching the company’s I went w/Garvey Construction & glad I did… Dan met me at the property and gave me an estimate , explained everything in detail what the job would entail. Explained in a way I could fully understand… Though I got outbid on the property I will definitely be calling Garvey , Dan in particular when I do find my dream home for any repairs or changes I want done … Thank u Garvey Construction for your time and look forward to hiring by in the future for any jobs I will need done…"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
