"We are thoroughly satisfied with our experience with Triangle Classic Homes! Carl Caldwell was our primary point of contact, though we worked with Ralph a few times, and he was great as well. Carl did an outstanding job overseeing our project from start to finish. Our newly finished basement looks fantastic and turned out even better than we could have imagined. We now have significant additional living space that is not only beautiful but also functional and suitable for gatherings of all sorts. We truly valued Carl’s experience and competence, as well as his ability to facilitate all of the moving parts and people involved in our project. Working with him was a pleasure! He was a good listener, easy to talk with, was receptive to our ideas, steered us in the right direction when needed and brought everything to life. He was able to accommodate design modifications during the process. Collaboration with him was a dream! He kept close oversight during all stages of the project, and it was obvious he truly cared about the quality of the work and end product. His attention to detail was impeccable. He is well connected and brought in excellent crews for everything from framing and drywall to electrical and plumbing. There is not one single part of our project that could be improved upon. Carl and his crew surpassed our expectations and we are fortunate to have worked with him. We highly recommend Carl Caldwell and Triangle Classic Homes for any and all home construction/improvement needs. We are already dreaming and scheming our next project with them."

"The work that Leon Home repairs did was fantastic. They were so kind and understanding to my wife. They were always on time or I would get a call explaining why. This rarely happened though. Their work was top quality and I intend to use them to repair anything in the future on my home. Very Professional and top quality."

"We were so impressed with the Odyssey team from start to finish. Caleb was very thorough in explaining the details of the roofing project, and he was always accessible when we had questions throughout the process. When they came to do the roofing work, they were very considerate and hard-working. Frank and Carlos were very personable and professional. When we had concerns, they addressed them right away. I highly recommend Odyssey Contracting and would not hesitate to call them again when we have a construction project. Thanks for your excellent service!"

"Henry and his crew are beyond courteous, professional, and pay precise attention to detail. I originally hired H and M to stain my fence but had another emergency that Henry also ended up taking on. First, the fence stain looks GREAT. The team power washed the fence clean of debris, then returned after it was dry to apply the stain. They used the proper staining technique and paid specific attention to detail. They wrapped all items near the fence that could not be moved to protect it from unwanted stain. The job is VERY clean and neat and the fence looks great! I was offered a variety of stains and Henry helped me with any questions I had. In addition, I also had to have my door replaced. Henry was not originally scheduled to do this but politely agreed when he saw my need. He replaced the entire door and frame, including trim and paint. The paint job was VERY neat and professional and the trim replacement and caulking make it look seamless. I cannot express how grateful I am for their quick reply in my time of need and their keen attention to detail no matter what task they are given. I cannot recommend these guys enough! I have found my go-to contractor. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and overall outgoing personalities set them high above anyone else."

"Absolutely perfect framing. Best price of many we got quoted from and the job was fast and amazingly done. The inspector came and passed it with flying colors. Strongly recommend for any framing or carpentry job! We hired MDF for several projects now, including replacing the front door, storm door, interior molding and repair doors, tables, install vanities, and much more, Just an extremely versatile, knowledgeable, effective and honest carpenter who has extensive experience and creativity. Care for details and reliable jobs that last for long time. Just the best we have met, and that why we keep on planning jobs including a couple for Murphy beds for the kids. Prices are very reasonable and he does not stop until work is fully completed and customer satisfaction Thanks Pablo!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

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.
