"Rick was awesome to work with. In the world of contractors, they normally don't communicate well. Rick greatly surprised me with how responsive he was via texting. He is a friendly guy to work with in person and he did an excellent job at doing my baseboards throughout my entire house. He kept things tidy and cleaned up everything after he departed."

"Overall, we had a great experience and are very happy with our new deck. The quality of the work is excellent, and it was completed much faster than we expected. You can tell he takes pride in his craftsmanship, and the finished product turned out exactly how we had hoped. The only area that could have been better was communication during the project. There were times when we weren't sure what the next steps or timeline were, but it wasn't a major issue and the work continued to move along quickly. In the end, the quality and speed of the build outweighed that small drawback. If you're looking for someone who does quality work and gets the job done efficiently, we would definitely recommend him. We're very pleased with our deck and would hire him again."

"Nick is a very reliable guy, he scheduled the installation of our interior doors in advance and the job was done without any delays. He did a great job installing our interior doors in our condo. His price was very reasonable with very high quality. I was so happy with him and the job he did, that I called him again to install our baseboards and base shoes, and he did a great job as well. I will call him if I ever need any kind of carpentry work again. I highly recommend Nick."

"Mark did a great job replacing my entry railings as well as correcting the uneven stair treads we had not anticipated. He is highly detail oriented and used his custom tools to provide the exact look I wanted. Communication was great and the jobsite was cleaned up daily. I would definately hire Mark again."

"Ross picked up where the last contractor left me with the worst craftsmanship and unfinished work. Ross was timely, precise, and actually took pride in his work. I was very surprised with his work. My previous contractor cut my door frames off and Ross fixed them to look normal, you'd would never know they were cut off. I would recommend him to get the job done right and timely with integrity."

Carpentry 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.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
