"Jay built a floating dock/pier for us. The quality of the work done is very good. Jay researched the different companies that have floating docks and gave us a detailed proposal/contract. He uses quality materials and was very precise in constructing the dock/pier. He communicated with us throughout the process. He is a true professional in that he kept to his set work schedule and finished ahead of the projected timeline. We are very pleased with the whole project, enjoyed working with him, and highly recommend Jay."

"Mr. Taylor was very professional and was able to correct issues caused by another contractor. Any part of the job he was not able to do, he provided me with reliable people to come and do it. I would hire Mr. Taylor again without a doubt."

"I contracted Synergy Painting to paint the entire interior of a 1500 square foot home. They painted ceilings, crown moldings, walls, baseboards, window trim, cabinets inside and out, closets and shelves, and every door in the house. The results were amazing and professional at every level. They used drop cloths everywhere. The entire job took 5 days. I would highly recommend Synergy Painters."

"Greene Construction was very timely addressing my roof leak, installing new roof and repairing damage internally. New roof looks great and Justin was very informative explaining any findings he had that needed further attention. Crew was extremely polite and cleaned up after each day. I would highly recommend Greene Construction for any needs. Itâ s nice to find a local company for needs in small towns such as Harrisburg,"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
