"QUALITY work that was praised by not only us, but the other contractors that were hired to finish this project. Good communication and showed up on time to the agreed upon work days. I would hire Olson Construction again on any future projects! Thank you Mark!"

"I will definitely recommend Tyler. Being this was his first complete pole barn build, it turned out excellent. 36' x 63' x 14' high. I had set the poles previously and discovered that my math is not as good as it used to be. I helped some but we had to reset the posts, and everything was down to 1/16". It really made a difference when it came time to build the barn. Very trustworthy and always came out when he said he would. Top tier carpenter you won't regret!"

"I rank Landson Construction #1 in the list of contractors we have hired in our 40 years of home ownership. Ari and his team of subcontractors recently completed a challenging remodel of one of our bathrooms--challenging because it is a very small area with limited space. Their finished job looks better than our separate remodel of a larger bathroom completed by one of the big firms that advertises daily on television. Examples: the tile work in our small shower is exceptional, and the vanity/oversized sink is a perfect match that does not dominate the small room. Ari Erickson (no relation to me) offered selections from his preferred vendors, but we had full latitude to shop on our own for all tile and fixtures. He and his subcontractors kept us fully apprised at all stages of the project, arrived promptly throughout the course of the work, responded promptly to our texts and emails, and cleaned up their work area at the end of each day. My highest recommendation: I always seek at least four bids for a major project, but I would forego that process and hire Landson Construction again for future building/remodeling projects, and would encourage friends and family to do the same."

"First Class Creations were very good to work with on a small project that involved cabinet modification in our kitchen. While they had not installed the cabinets, Cory was very helpful in arranging for â service beyond the. call of dutyâ . He arranged for Tommy to come to our home after he had finished their project and handle our needs. Both were excellent to work with. I would highly recommend them for your remodel project."

"I got three bids on this project, and Kestner was my favorite of the three, so I was very excited when their bid actually came in the lowest. I was already pretty sure I was going with them, and that easily sealed the deal to hire them. This was much more complicated than a typical deck project. It included an outdoor kitchen area and some other features, plus the way it sits against the house is a little out of the ordinary. I had a good idea of what I wanted, but Ryan was SO helpful in making suggestions to help me finalize the details. He really listened to what I wanted, made excellent suggestions and didn't hesitate to be honest when he thought something might not end up looking right. I desperately needed that - especially since this project happened during the COVID shut down so I didn't have as many people around to provide feedback. All of his suggestions were spot on and I am in love with the final project. The whole crew was amazing. They finished the job quickly and weren't disruptive, even while I was working from home the whole time. My neighbor even mentioned that she was impressed by how hard they worked. And honestly they were some of the nicest guys...I was kind of sad when the project was over because it meant we didn't get to joke around anymore. I've got several other major projects on the horizon and I will be hiring them for every one. I can't recommend them enough."

"Dustin quoted on a job of putting crown moulding in our main level and kitchen. He came in within our budget and was able to start a few days later! There were tricky cuts and he managed it very easily. He was always on time and a great communicator. He was reasonably priced and paid a lot of attention to detail. He cleaned up perfectly each day. I’d highly recommend him for any future work!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

On average, the cost to hire a carpenter ranges from about $75 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of carpentry, location, size of the job, and skill level of the carpenter. Get quotes from at least three carpenters in your area to determine the best price for your specific project.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.

Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.
