"The entire trim had to be removed and replaced.  While this sounds simple the workers had to install a roof jack type scaffold due to the angle of the roof.   The trim was removed, replaced, sealed and painted.  The workers were very thorough and cleaned up as if they were never there.

"We hired Blackline Building to add a deck to the back of our house and to renovate our master suite. Sam was so easy to work with. He offered several suggestions that made the process very easy. His crews were very respectful of our property, cleaned up daily and finished the project on time. We could not be happier with the finished product!"

"Chester is a superbly skilled and talented contractor, more than professional, and a perfectionist in every step of the process from job estimate to final punch list. He really listens to what you want and makes astute recommendations. He's extremely responsive to any phone calls, texts, or emails.
I have contractors in my family but they live on the west coast so I?ve been searching for a great general contractor for quite some time. Thank goodness I found Chester so I could finally get my renovations done!  He?s not only a superior skilled tradesman but his prices are fair and he truly wants his customers to be happy and goes the extra mile to make sure that happens. He has a tremendous crew who are also meticulous and he stands behind every bit of work that is done. They clean up throughout the day and all construction debris is hauled off; none is left for you to deal with.
You don?t need to spend any more time reading reviews ? YOU?VE FOUND THE BEST CONTRACTOR ? call Chester and get your work scheduled! It has been fun and a true pleasure working with Chester! He?s the only one I?ll call for any future renovation work!

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.
