"We hired Higgins Construction to put in an egress window and replace an additional window in our basement. Mike was great to work with, as was his crew. The work they performed was clean and timely and we are extremely satisfied with how both windows turned out. We will definitely be returning to Higgins Construction for future projects!"

"Jon was very punctual and always kept me updated with the progress.    He was very pleasant with my children and neighbors when they wanted to see the dramatic changes taking place.   He accommodated my schedule when I needed to change some days and was always easy to reach by phone when needed.     
The work was of high quality and he always made sure I was happy with everything.  I highly recommend Jon for any job you may have.    It's hard to find honest, and well skilled contractors!    He is definitely one of them!   
The entry way custom bench is gorgeous and well built!    I have had many friends and neighbors asking about him to do work in their houses.
HIghly satisfied customer!!!!  Thank Jon!!!!   I will be calling you again!!!!"

"Project of demo old deck and build a new to the same plan did not get started until late November. There were periodic weeks during the winter that did not allow for any work. The company owner/manager(Ivan) kept us informed of the status. The quality of workmanship was very good and followed the city inspection. Project that was over 15K came in at the bid price."

"It was a pleasure working with the contractors at Ridge Brook Construction. They were very responsive, whenever I had questions, and made sure all the work was completed according to my home owner insurance company's schedule. I'm very pleased with the quality of the work, the new shingles look great, and the leaf guards are a much needed addition. The crew that did the roof work were fast and did a great job of cleaning up, too."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.

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.
