Customers say: Quality work

"We had David's team build a new 16' X16' deck off our back porch for a Jacuzzi and install a new French door, leading out to the deck. First and of great important to us, David communicated regularly with us both before and after giving us a quote. We agreed on a start date and he and his team showed up on the agreed date and on time. His build team (Drew [foreman], Hunter and Tyler) were exceptional!! They worked carefully and consistently throughout the build. We were very impressed with the care and accuracy they took laying out the footings and making sure everything was strong, level and plumb. They even made sure not to get the deck muddy. One or two who worked on top, never went down into the muddy area under the deck. The designated "muddy" person fed them whatever they needed from below. The deck was "pristine" when they were done. The deck was built in Jan 2022, so we had a couple snow days, but they returned immediately after the roads cleared. The build took about 5 working days. We cannot overstate the professionalism. attention to detail and dependability of David and his crew!!! They have our highest recommendation."

"We have used a good amount of companies before, and continued to get the same result; no communication, always above budget, and never within the time frame discussed. Trevor and his team were the exact opposite of this. We never had any issues with communication, price, or time. We also have three small children and our project was fairly large. Trevor and his team took great care to make sure our children were comfortable, and most importantly, safe. 10 out of 10 will absolutely hire again."

"Carlos did the quote for the paneling, chair rail, and painting the first floor of my house. He came for a quote promptly on Monday after my Saturday inquiry. He and his team came in, did the job right, exactly to our specifications. He worked efficiently and politely. He also pivoted mid-job with a reasonable price increase for the added labor of a tweak my wife needed added. House looks great. Very worth the price he quoted for excellent services rendered. We’ll be using him to do our herringbone subway tile backsplash next! Thanks, Carlos!"

"Aaron was very professional, helping us plan and design landscaping for an otherwise awkward and hillside parking cutout. He answered our many questions and completed the job within the time frame and budget quoted. The results were what we hoped for and we have planned to have Aaron back in March to do some additional beautifying of our property. We highly recommended Aaron and Seven Springs Landscape Maintenance."

"Very talented Master Cabinet Maker and Wood Worker. He was more knowledgeable and experienced than all the other cabinet refinishers I interviewed. He s building two additional cabinets for me from scratch to complement my kitchen and bath. He s still working on them, so I ll post again once he s completed the project."

"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

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
