"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."

"It went very well. Jimmy came in and helped me after another guy didn't do the work. I needed to put my home on the market soon and Jimmy rushed in and was able to get it done on time and he saved me money. I got my home listed and sold. I have his number saved in my phone for anything else in the future."

"Not only does Mr. Otis do fantastic work, but he is an absolutely pleasure to work with. He is a wonderful communicator and worked so graciously when I had to adjust our schedule at last minute. And the work he did was/is IMPECCABLE and SEAMLESS. If you’ve ever had any ceiling issues, you know that sometimes it is easy to spot- but his work makes the fix look like there was never an issue. I am so thrilled to have found someone I trust to help me with the revamp of my house!"

"Mr Gray and Mike were very proficient in the work they performed and very courteous. The price paid was fair and Reasonable. He was willing to go above board. They moved furniture back in place after repair was completed. I would recommend him. I even got pricing for interior house painting and will probably use Mr Gray as That price is reasonable as well."

"Super reasonable. I've called GC several times for different estimates on different things. Very quick to respond, check it out, give me an estimate and even complete the job in a day or two. GC has been doing work for my mother for a while also. We trust them."

"They did a great job! My house looks better than I dreamed it could have. They finished it quicker than expected, never went above the agreed price (which was the best price out of 9 different quotes), and went out of their way to work with our crazy schedules. I will definitely be hiring them again for more projects around the house!!"

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.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.
