"Amazing job. The workmanship so good to match the existing wall and blend so it’s not a noticeable repair. Many neighbors have stopped by and commented on the good job. We were impressed with this contractor’s excellent communication. I would hire them again for any work we need done here at our home."

"My wife and I called multiple contractors when it came to our basement remodel. Mike, at Regal Remodelers Inc, stood out to us and we chose him for our project. Mike was very responsive and made the whole process extremely easy and stress free. He worked with us on our vision, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it to. Antonio, his lead carpenter, was a pleasure to deal with and is extremely detail oriented. From always being on time, clearly taking pride in his work, and cleaning every day before he left, we couldnt have asked for more. Our basement turned out better than we could have imagined. If you have a home project, call Mike at Regal Remodelers Inc, you wont be disappointed."

"Mitch and his Voyager Concrete team did a fantastic job on my front entry sidewalk replacement. Mitch was great to work with, they were the most competitive of the three quotes I got, and I would give them 10 stars if I could. Very highly recommended!!"

"I was very happy with Victor when he responded to my request the next day and were able to start working very quickly and completed the work on time. They work very hard and they accommodate change of plans very well. I was happy with the fact that they were open and willing to negotiate. They were humble and the workers were very respectful and flexible. Just make sure you are clear about your expectations and address all issues immediately."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

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.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
