"Willie is just amazing!!! Totally blown away with the whole experience and quality of his companies work! He was quick to respond to my multiple questions and was a pleasure to talk to! Him and his partner went ABOVE and beyond! I had a list of things to get done for a local move. They unmounted and remounted my 60 inch TV, broke down and reassembled my adjustable bed frame(Which was huge and friggen heavy), put together big furniture cabinet, Took apart an old wooden bed frame and hung curtains rods for my bedroom windows. They were fast, efficient, friendly, informative and very reasonably priced! This guy does it all so if you need a task completed call Willie! 10 out of 10! HIGHLY RECOMMEND"

"Eddie came with a partner and they did a beautiful job. Immaculate work. I found no fault what so ever. He had to raise the cabinets and then repair and paint the wall. He was here exactly when he said he would be here for both the estimate and the job. He does great follow up and has a great work ethic. He is just such a joy to work with."

"E A D Home Improvements was the best decision that my wife and I made to accomplish our roofing job. Although we had gotten a number of estimates from other contractors, E A D came in with the best offer, without cutting corners, for the money. They will beat any estimate and will NOT force any other unnecessary work on you just to make extra money. When Ernie Duffy came over, he explained the entire job in terms which were clear and concise. The contract was written in a way which was easily understandable and he explained everything. He was here from start to finish; when the shingles arrived, during complete tear off and installation, during clean up ( which was immaculate ), when the new gutters were installed and even when the dumpster got picked up to be sure that the driveway was cleaned under the dumpster. He even stopped by a week later to see if we were completely satisfied with the job and if we had any issues. His crew were true professionals, not day laborers looking to make a quick buck. Clean up, again, was immaculate. The day after the job was completed, I raked my lawn in preparation to put down fertilizer and found only 2 nails between the front and back. They worked from the time they got here until quitting time and the job was completed in 1 1/2 days. This company is truly a professional business and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any home improvement job that you may have. We can only give 5 stars, but I give them 10++. Thanks E A D Home Improvements, and you Ernie, from an extremely satisfied customer."

"They did the most incredible job and I am extremely satisfied! I am physically challenged and needed a walkway in the back yard to exercise. They understood what I needed and worked with me to get the best possible solution! The crew all worked flawlessly together. They took two days to finish the job. The first was the ground preparation and setting up the framing for the concrete. The second was to pour the concrete and finish off the job. Everyone knew exactly what to do to keep the concrete flowing from the truck to the back yard. One guy maned the truck, one guy worked the destination surface and two ran the wheelbarrows back and forth from the truck to the walkway! They put in great effort to keep my driveway and the street clear from residual concrete. I am extremely pleased with the work they did for the price they charged. They gave me an estimate and the final price was exactly the same! I highly recommend this service provider to all!!!"

"Overall, they were good. Efficient and polite. The quality of their work is very good. The manner in which they work needs improvement. Clipping chain links and allowing them to fall on wood floors â ¦ placing old fixtures on wood floors. However, the two gentlemen on the job were extremely knowledgeable, and I would most certainly 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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
