"Harvey and his crew were absolutely top notch!! From the first moment I reached out to Harvey I had a good feeling, and that was confirmed when we met for an evaluation of the work and an estimate. Harvey's communication is probably the best of any contractor I've ever experienced, his prices are very fair, and he's punctual! My floors look like new and the walls came out beautifully, you can't even notice the spots that were so severely damaged before! Once the primary work was finished there were a few minor touches that needed to be addressed and Harvey came personally to oversee everything was done perfectly! You'd think it was his own house he was working on, he took such care! I can not say enough good things about this man and his work, take it from me I'm as picky and as much of a perfectionist as they come! For any contractor needs, look no further than Harvey at Heartland!"

"I hired Anthony after my previous contractor was always cancelling on me and not showing up. It was refreshing to have a true pro come in with 40 years experience and solve all the problems that were left in my kitchen. Anthony also had great ideas and recommendations that helped in our decision making on completing our kitchen renovation. He was very fairly priced and gave us an itemized breakdown of the costs. I would highly recommend Anthony for any project big or small. He is in my contacts for future projects!!"

"Mike and his team at Euro services did an excellent job remodeling our aging and dated master bathroom. From the very beginning through the end of the process, Mike took the time to meet in person (multiple times), carefully plan the details, assess all options and even went out of his way to secure additional expert opinions to assess feasibilities of all changes that were being discussed, including impact to surrounding structures, etc. that most contractors may not consider within scope of a bathroom remodel. As with most remodel projects, surprises may show up after demo, and when we encountered such issues, Mike prioritized quality of work, issue resolution, with a high degree of transparency throughout the entire process. Mike and his team also put in the extra hours needed to ensure our project was completed within the timelines we targeted. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the final product; quality of work, craftsmanship, customer experience and communication. We will not hesitate to work with this team again in the future and highly recommend Mike for home remodeling projects."

"I work from home full-time, so having contractors in the house for several weeks made me nervous. But honestly, the Belmax crew made it so stress-free. They showed up on time every morning, greeted my dog, asked before moving anything, and cleaned up before leaving.The project manager checked in constantly, and I always knew what was happening next. The new island and layout make cooking so much easier, and the craftsmanship is obvious ? even the small details look perfect.It feels good when a company treats your home with respect. Belmax absolutely earned my trust."

"Channel Contractors did an amazing job renovating our building in Jersey City, which included a shop and apartments above. They provided the lowest estimate, yet the quality of their work was outstanding. Located in a historical district, our building required careful attention to regulations, and Channel Contractors handled everythingâ from acquiring permits to passing inspectionsâ seamlessly. The project was completed on time with zero hassle. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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.
