"Devon was amazing! Our home looks brand new! Devon was professional and friendly. Devin came out to give us an estimate when most contractors were too busy to deal with us or were too far away. He came out quickly to give us an estimate and started the project right on time. His price was competitive and the quality of work is exceptional. With all the rain we've had my skylights don't leak! He's coming back to install a new door to the deck soon. He even cleaned up so well that you can't even tell he was here. I highly recommend Devon for all your remodel needs."

Customers say: True professional

"Greg has expertise in many areas, he "does it all!" As he told me "My work is my life! And I DO Care!!" No question he will give you his best in knowledge, experience, and creativity. And he works non-stop like an Energizer Bunny! He thinks about your projects after hours to find the best solution. My 200 year old house put him to the test! He replaced a rotted out door and entryway, resurfaced a floor, dry walled an area where a sky light had been removed, and reframed the area under a toilet that was caving in, painting along the way. And he is repairing my crumbling deck! Luckily he is a "frugal Yankee" and constantly looks for ways to save you money. And, as he says, he leaves your house cleaner and in better shape than when he arrived. Highly recommend!"

"Ryan Sharp did an awesome job taking down some huge trees on my property. His pricing was competitive. He worked quickly and safely and was able to get the job done the right way. You can feel confident having him and his team knock down any trees that you need gone. Hire this guy."

"John is a great guy! Very friendly, great communication and attention to detail. Worked with me every step of the way always making sure I was happy with the work. He even worked with my insurance company to get them to cover their portion of the expense. The crew was very polite and thorough and did exceptional work. Their design and workmanship was outstanding. Even the building inspector was very impressed. I highly recommend these guys and would be happy to hire them again."

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
