I've had my gutters cleaned many times and this is by far my very best experience. In moving forward, Dominion Construction will be my go to. Very please with their work and excited to learn about such a great company!"

"I hired Uprise to repair my pavers on the driveway and I was pleased with the work, professionalism and honesty. I ended up using them for my 20x40 deck replacement and it was just as great as the first experience. We used trex boards, they were open to ideas and listened to our suggestions and they explained everything in detail."

"J and A Home Remodeling Date: 4/17/2019 by Dominic F. Annandale NJ It is not often that I take the time to write a review for services rendered except for when the experience is positive and worthy of accolades. The exceptional work recently completed, on 4/17/2019 by J and A Home Remodeling, installing new windows for our home rises to that occasion. Through the years my wife and I have owned and renovated several homes dealing with a variety of contractors whose customer service satisfaction was as varied as the work needed. Now retired and on fixed incomes, the importance of being assured of receiving value for our dollars had become paramount and with Owner/Operator Joe Markey that goal was achieved. Our first introduction to Joes work came from a business associate who recommended him highly for some interior painting that was needed. Joe showed flexibility with scheduling out of concern for our needs and performed the service both timely and with close attention to detail. An offhand comment regarding a desire to have our windows replaced for the past few years led to Joe apprising us as to the depth of services he renders, and within 48 hours we had been shown a sample of the windows, provided pricing info, detailed spec information as to quality, warranty coverage, the installation process, scheduling needs/accommodations, and commitment to personally perform the work. Within the time frame of barely one and a half days, I witnessed Joe, with assistance from an equally competent technician Ed, personally change 16 windows from start to finish. The proficiency with which they worked as a team was amazing to observe. The removal, replacement, insulating, caulking, and exterior aluminum wrapping/embellishments were performed without any interior or exterior mess that we had to concern ourselves with. The final look significantly enhanced the street appeal of our house and was everything we were expecting. The noise reduction, ease of cleaning, and energy saving aspects will be paying dividends for years to come. Joe Markeys J and A Home Remodeling has proven itself to be a reliable, professionally operated, and competitively priced company driven by a desire to leave its customers satisfied, and that mission was accomplished. We would have no hesitation to hire J and A for our rear deck and patio that the wife is now throwing hints about. The personalized touch that Joe Markey offers is a refreshing change from the larger franchised firms out there."

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. 

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.

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
