"Chad was very professional and such a breath of fresh air to work with. Communication was superb. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with his work and it was exactly what we wanted. We hired him to complete an accent wall. We wanted a board and batten with additional trim work to match other decorative moulding in our home so required making sure styles of moulding etc were cohesive as possible. He took the time to show us different ideas and possibilities for the area we were working on. Started the work exactly when we requested and completed the job very timely. Respectful of our home and when working out schedules. He kept the areas he was using clean and picked up while working and when the job was completed. We have other trim work we are going to be completing in our home and will use Chad again. His BID and final cost for project very fair and well priced."

"They were recommended to us. Our 1/2-bath remodel was done in 2022. Watch what you pay. While their work was great, our 1-week project turned into 3 weeks plus without discussing it with us. He handed us a bill for $2,400.00 more than he bid, which we agreed to. His excuse was that it took longer to do some things than he expected. Not our problem. He kept saying no big deal and how long he had been doing this, so he should have known how long it would take to do things. We clearly outlined in writing what needed to be done. We discussed everything. We pointed out the termite damage, so he knew about that. He knew he'd have to build out the walls to put in a shelf. He threw away a wax ring for the toilet, then spent half a day driving around trying to find one that worked. His son would not show sometimes, so he said it took him longer because he needed his son help. Several days he did not show because he worked on another job. There were no hidden surprises on our end. We did not ask for additional things to be done. We stuck to our list. We bought the tile, shower base, shower door, shower head [and raised it up], new vent/light, and toilet. All they had to do was tear out the old, install the new in a half bath, and get any supplies he needed to do the job. His bid was $6,400.00, but we ended up paying $9,561.70 [$921.70 was tools and materials]. He charged us for an extra 14 hours at $160.00 per hour. His last day, he walked in and handed me a bill with the additional amount. What if we did not have that extra money? Why did he not tell us ahead of time that it was going to cost more? He just acted like it was no big deal; it was more than he bid, and we should have no problem paying the additional amount, which again, we were not made aware of and did not agree on. Of course I paid it, then kicked myself later. We should have paid what he bid, and if he wanted the rest, told him to take us to court."

"David and his crew provided excellent service. They created a gravel pad for a storage shed and it looks amazing. They were reasonably priced and completed the work within 24 hours once the bid was accepted. I will definitely use Four Seasons for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
