"We had Jim build us a custom wooden countertop and install cabinets in our laundry room and couldn’t be more happy with the results. His attention to detail, customer service, and prompt execution is unmatched and he worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. I would recommend Jim to anyone who has a project or repair needed around the house."

"Jose installed a tile backsplash in the kitchen and did a beautiful job. He also built a deck and installed an aluminum fence around my backyard. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever hired. He is professional, friendly and listens to your ideas of how you want it designed. I plan to have him install a barn yard door next!"

"Overall good experience. Worked directly with the General Contractor, he was able to work around my schedule and ensure that all subs completed their work to our standard the first time! Upfront pricing, honest and provided flexibility in price. For example, I wanted to have my own painter. Additionally I purchased my own vanity and shower. He provided just a labor quote. Iâ ve already recommended to two friends!"

"I have used Project Arcadia for multiple projects at a few different properties. From emergency plumbing to a full deck build. There is no job these guys can't handle. They are very detailed oriented and professional. Most importantly you can trust them to do what they are contracted for on time and within budget. They really go the extra mile and do quality work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.
