"Robert Smilow is an outstanding construction contractor. I have resently used his services for two projects and will once again reach out to him to make suggestions for home improvements. Robert is unquestionably talent, reliable and honest. My first experience was a wet basement. Another contractor informed me that to correct the issue would cost thousands of dollars. Robert advised me at how to solve the water issue by performing a few easy remedies on my own. It cost $25 and now the water and basement are dry. I need additional outlets. Robert arranged for DelVal Electric to meet with me. The work was completed in two days. DelVal Electric did a great job at a reasonable rate. Bravo Robert!!!"

"

From the first contact, they were very professional. They arrived on time, were aware of which windows they were working on (good notes provided to workers from estimate writer), cleared the work required with me, and got started. They were done in about 90 min. So far, we're very happy with the work. The loose piece was re-attached and we are happy with the window sealing.

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.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
