"Tammy and David are wonderful, kind people who are expert in what they do! I met them at a time when I needed a kitchen remodel. My new refrigerator was lonely and needed cabinets around it. I explained what I wanted and, most important to me, they listened! I also had a cabinet that enclosed the old frig...I wanted that one to house my microwave on the upper portion with slide out shelves on the lower. As a matter of fact, I wanted sliding shelves around the new frig too. Later that evening, Tammy sent a computer graphic of the final product after I asked for a change in design...I approved it and they were on their way! Tammy and David had the necessary information and promised two weeks for installation to occur. Exactly two weeks from our first meeting, they began the installation; a day later, it was completed! The cabinets are absolutely beautiful, a testament to their expertise! I am beyond ecstatic every time I see them! Additionally, I should mention that my home is old with floors that do not always demonstrate the word level! They compensated for that in their design; in fact, there was still a slight problem with the refrigerator after the install...it was leaning backwards. I texted them about it. They came over, after some very busy hours of working on another project, to make sure the frig was level. When David said that they weren't leaving until this problem was solved, I knew I had chosen the best people. The problem was corrected and I couldn't be happier. Besides being incredible carpenters, they are good, caring people! They make a great team...I wholeheartedly recommend them! Thank you Tammy and David!"

"Very responsive. High quality work from Marcus. Only issue was the date of the work - used them for two projects, and both times the execution date was pushed 1-3 days from what was originally communicated."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.
