"I hired JLM Home Solutions to install all my interior doors and closets including frames/casings in my upstairs. Jason was a horrible person the entire time I hired him. He acted like a nice person just to get hired. I regret hiring him. Unfortunately I had signed a contract by the time I found out he was no good. Every time I brought up something that was not done right, he’d yell and raise his voice at me. He’s very rude and unprofessional with the worst customer service. He was rude on text, rude on phone and rude in person. Jared, I guess one of his employees was a great person, very polite and did an amazing job. He worked on the project in a professional manner. He didn’t come back though to finish the project because Jason sent another person instead, David, who did an awful job. Jason didn’t want to hear it that David’s work was not the greatest. I had to put a stop payment after I found out one of the closet doors wasn’t installed right and other things that were wrong. Jason got so upset that he had to come back to fix the problem after I told him I didn’t want David. Jason came to my house but failed to fix the problem still. Instead he made me feel threatened in my own house. He was all in my face yelling at me saying nothing was wrong with the closet. Even my little dog was scared. I had to call my daughter and son to come over because I was so terrified that he was maybe going to hurt me. I stayed on the phone all the time while he was there so someone could hear his abusive behavior. That day after Jason left, I had to get a second opinion on the closet. Another contractor couldn’t believe the way the closet was installed and for Jason to insist it was okay. He left the old frame on and didn’t want to here when I mentioned it. I’ll have this closet removed and a new one with new frame installed the right way. I had to insist Jason deduct some money for that closet from the balance owed to him. A couple of days later, I noticed my kitchen door they installed still had cracks on the inside frame close to the lock. I had mentioned that to him. I texted him to let him know with pictures showing the cracks. Now Jason won’t respond to my text, email or phone. I asked him to send one of his guys to fix the door. Not him because I don’t want him around me. I’ve tried everything to get to him. I know he’s ignoring me. I paid him so much money for this project. If I don’t hear from him I’ll have no choice but to file small claims. He cannot leave my door like that after I paid him so much money and thinks he can just get away with it. If there was an option of zero stars, that’s what I’d have given JLM."

"I was in need of emergency ( fastest appointment possible) electrical upgrade of fuse box. It was winter and my water pipes were also in danger without my furnace functioning along with too cold to be inside my home. Time was of the essence and literally costing me $ by the day. Brian ( the professional handling my service) arrived in 2 days while all the other companies I contacted could not provide service for 6 weeks. He was professional, proficient, knowledgeable, and such a relief that my problems were solved and in working order in just 3 hours time starting with inspection of service needed, collecting all materials need for service, and service itself. Saving me alot of money daily to preserve my home from damage and daily living arrangements. I would absolutely hire again! Thank you I appreciate you! Elizabeth Roberts"

"Tauschek-Hill Construction completed our new Deck install and a Brand new bathroom in a timely manner and we couldn't be happier with the results!! Let's begin with the removal and install of our brand new deck. We had issues finding anyone who would even come out to give us a quote, we contacted Tim and he was here within 48 hours to do a thorough quote. The thing I appreciated most was his advice and kindness, from quoting to completion. They met out deadline, and the deck exceeded our expectations. My wife and I now call it our favorite area on our entire property!! Now to the bathroom, both my wife and I have parents that have disabilities, making it a challenge since both of our bathrooms were on the 2nd floor. We connected Taushek-Hill Construction and let Tom know what roadblocks we were up against. He came up with multiple options, many we had not even thought of, to make the area handicap accessible while keeping the cost to a minimum. From flooring to installing a new vanity, drywall, new fixtures, and a pocket door (Which saved us tons of space!!). Overall, the work was completed on time at an affordable price and we are ecstatic with the results. I highly recommend Tauschek-Hill Construction and plan on using them for any future projects. 5-Star ++++!!"

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
