"Phil, Pat, and Trevor worked at our home repairing siding, trim, and framing for 7 weeks. Phil is nothing less than the Sherlock Holmes of home repair. He Is able to see things most others wouldn't and repair everything until it looks brand new. He is highly intelligent, passionate, and meticulous in his work. Phil sent us pictures and video of problem spots and explained everything to us as he went. His work ethic is impeccable and we were so happy with everything that was done. His team was amazing. Pat was an incredibly hard worker and so respectful of us and our property. Pat did an amazing job. Trevor worked along with them and we were very impressed with how hard he worked. He also did an amazing job. Clearly both Pat and Trevor make a great additions to Phil's team. There were many mistakes that the original builder made and although seemingly small they caused a huge amount of damage over the years. When Phil left we told him it was as good as new, though actually it is better than new. We were so happy to have them at our home and when all was said and done, they left our home much, much better than they found it. It was a pleasure doing business with them and we would highly recommend them to anyone that needs their services."

"Adam did a great job with his wife. His attention to detail is excellent. In addition to painting, he will fix things ( rotted wood), do carpentry and replace items ( ie vents) around the house. He also has a really good eye for colors, will make suggestions to get you to think outside the box. He is a hard worker and a very nice guy!"

All the cabinet doors are brought to our shop to be completely refinished in an environment where the paint can properly cure.
This 1940s home looks brand new, after a complete refinishing of the siding and trim, a flat finish for the siding, satin finish for the trim, and newly constructed trellises integrated into the corner boards.

"Kevin was great, he was very responsive on a Saturday and came to hang a new door for me the next day. The installation was more complicated than I originally anticipated. The hinges, deadbolt and door knob did not align with the existing cut outs. Kevin did a great job making the door look like it was pre-hung on the existing frame."

"We were extremely pleased with the outcome of Teagan's very high quality craftsmanship. We had an ugly old brick fireplace that, with his guidance, has become a refreshing "work of art." Teagan was the first carpenter we interviewed and we instantly felt he was the man for out job because he spoke so knowledgeably, made us aware of things to consider, and even provided the name of quality business to locate the desired stonework we wanted. Not only did he create a beautiful wood mantel and surround with nice architectural details, but his stonework was impeccable. Teagan stayed in close contact with us and completed the job ahead of schedule. We can't praise him or his work more highly and wholeheartedly endorse him for any project anyone's considering. We would absolutely hire him again if the need arose. Thank you Teagan for making our long overdue dream come true."

"We had a great experience with building our deck. They were quick to set up initial meetings, and spent a lot of time with us reviewing designs and options. Building went quickly and smoothly, and they were quick to respond to any questions and concerns. We are beyond pleased with our new deck, they did such a beautiful job."

"These men were the only ones to confidently admit they could accomplish the job of taking down my popcorn ceiling. All other companies said it wasn't possible. This crew worked so fast and completely that I couldn't stop praising their hard work. I'm hiring them back for another job. Highly recommend. They do what they say."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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

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

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.
