"Very polite and professional at all times, but also personable. Did excellent work and stayed on budget and within time frame quoted. Hardworking and consistently on point with the job. Removed all refuse from the job and put deck furniture back on deck. Refreshingly kind and honest. Would recommend to anyone."

"I hired Mr Jones for mowing and yard maintenance initially and found him to be a hard worker that works fast and does an exceptional job. We spoke at length pertaining to his many services available, and after having noted his work ethic I quickly decided to have him quote several tasks, both inside and outside of the house. So far, along with regular yard maintenance, I've hired him to repair a dishwasher, install a toilet, repair water damage on a bathroom sub floor, perform tree removals, and clear flower beds. Chris Jones is NOW my "Go to Guy" for any property needs that apply to his skill sets. Very pleased to have Jones Services on my vendor list, and would Highly Recommend Him to Anyone, and Everyone."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
