"I found Al through Nextdoor.com. He called back quickly to make an appointment for a measure and quote. He was ontime, made a model of what was to be done on his computer and printed a picture to show me what he was planning to do. He is very thorough with details. If you need a professional skilled carpenter please give Al a call. You wonâ  t regret it."

"Mr. Bergen's team of carpenters and painters arrived on time and completed all work within two days: one day to repair and another day to paint. They did excellent work and left no mess behind.
It is refreshing to find a contractor like Mr. Bergen, who has a keen eye not only for existing problems, but for ways to prevent their recurrence in the future. Mr. Bergen and his team were completely professional in all the work that they did.
Mr. Bergen was not the lowest cost contractor, but his work was fairly priced. We will happily use him for future work on our home.

"Tripp was amazing. I am very impressed with the quality of his work. I needed my deck power washed, sanded, repaired and stained. He showed up when he said he would be here and he just was a very nice gentlemen. I will definitely be hiring him again to do work at my home, he is a true gem!"

"Vince and the busy bee handyman team did a great job for us. Our handyman was a skilled carpenter and did a perfect job. The dog door we purchased wasn’t 100% airtight so Vinny the owner came at no cost and did a work around to help seal the place air came through the flap. Even though it was the door manufacturer issue Busy bee wanted us to be happy and also build a rain resistant cover at no additional cost. I’m so thankful that i found Vinny bc he will not stop until you are 100% happy with the project. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️"

"By all means. These men are craftsmen. Their attention to detail was meticulous. There were additional, structural problems the team identified and repaired. The carpentry and finishing were precise. The quality of materials was high. The personnel working on the project showed professional attention to the structure and their work. The manager Fabrizio warrants special praise. The finished project went far beyond our expectations."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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 cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
