"Tim and his crew are amazing. They built me an awesome deck!! From the beginning of the project to end I was thoroughly impressed. His quote was timely and fair. I’ve heard of so many horror stories about contractors so i was so pleasantly surprised at how great this experience was. The work began quickly and the workmanship is incredible. These guys know what they’re doing. Tim is so professional. He is prompt, he communicates everything in detail and really pays attention to detail in the work. He’s also a really nice guy. His crew is polite and work so hard. They’d get here and never stop working. Maybe 5 minutes to eat a sandwich. I plan to hire Tim for future projects. No question about it! Highly recommend."

"Jeff was awesome to work with. He helped us with an outdoor project concerning our chimney and a window. He was extremely knowledgeable and very dependable. He kept us informed every step of the way during the entire project. We would most definitely recommend him to our family and friends for any project they may have."

"After searching for someone who does ceramic tile on Home Advisor, Brandon from Silver Snake Properties contacted me. He gave my wife and me a reasonable quote and was able to begin work in less than 2 weeks (due to rain and this being an inside job). He is a very experienced man, and we discovered, very knowledgeable in many areas, not just ceramic tile. He always showed on time; has a very calm, professional demeanor; and excellent work ethics. While demolishing our bathrooms, for Brandon to do the tile, due to old pipes, we sprung 2 leaks. Brandon went above and beyond to help me get the situations resolved quickly. While he was here, my wife picked his brain about a ceramic tile backsplash in our kitchen, venting our dryer outside, replacing a couple windows, and helping us complete our stairs after laying vinyl wood flooring. Yes, we will definitely hire Beandon again!"

"We had rough weather through out the project, but Jake & John got it done. Our project was , a 56" x 24 " addition. Architectural plans where mest up because of a last minute set back on our septic Tank, had to reduce plan by 4 feet, they handle the changes well, without me having to get another plan drawn up. If your plans are solid... These guys are great..."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
