"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."

"Jimmy came the day after we talked and gave us a very reasonable quote. He finished the job, doing everything we asked, and the only delay was rain on the day he planned to paint the exterior."

"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 called C Gray, Sons and Associates the same day I needed help putting my vanity together, and they showed up quickly! The team was professional, efficient, and friendly from start to finish. They had everything assembled perfectly in no time and made sure everything was sturdy and aligned before leaving. I really appreciated how responsive they were and the quality of their work. Highly recommend them for any home project — fast, reliable, and professional!"

"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."

"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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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

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. 

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
