"Michelle did a great job with double checking all the specs for the material order and helping me select a color for the pre-stained interior doors and mouldings to blend the old with the new of our remodel project, and Justin did a fantastic job on the install. In addition to installing the doors and hardware, every door has a stop! Great attention to detail, ownership of their work, and generous with their time!"

"Bill did all the finishing work on the basement we are completing. Bill started working for us after we had just let another trim worker go because of his poor workmanship. Bill not only showed excellent quality of work, but he fixed all of the mistakes the 1st guy we hired did. I also appreciated the time that Bill took to communicate the progression of the project every step along the way. We would definitely hire Bill again if we were to do another project!"

"I contacted TCH based on other reviews of them for larger projects here. My project was to build a brand new wall downstairs for my office/bedroom so I needed someone to do the framing, drywall, mudding and electrical. The wall was about 10' and my ceiling is low so they even had to cut the door and frame to fit. Many handymen don't provide all these services, I was told to find a GC. When I contacted TCH they were responsive from the start. I knew from researching them they did more of a bid than pure hourly rates which I really liked. Darren came out to the house to take a look and help me figure out where the wall should go. I didn't have much experience so it was great to have his expertise in picking out a door, specifications, all of that. They also took care of adding an air return which didn't even occur to me. They were super flexible on adding some fixes for my weird wiring and rerouted a switch to the inside of my office from the outside. John was the handyman who worked with me on the project and he was awesome. Very considerate and asked about design and pointed out issues as he worked. He cut the door to fit perfectly, reframed it, got all the matching trim I needed. I was so happy with the result, all I had to do was paint! They could have done that for me too. Overall I'm super pleased and will definitely be working with them in the future."

"We had Reetz Construction redo our existing deck. They did a wonderful job replacing the old wood with Armadillo composite decking. They had a great attention to detail and were meticulous about ensuring everything was just right. I highly recommend them!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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. 

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.
