"The wood decking on our front porch was in bad shape. Brandon replaced the boards where necessary, sanded, and painted. It turned out great! Will definitely hire again."

"Adam Vogel of AMV Remodeling is a meticulous artisan. He can do it all - tile, plumbing, electrical, and on and on. He is extremely knowledgeable about remodeling. He refinished two bathrooms for us - custom tile, faucets, painting - he even installed an oversized whirlpool and kept following up with the manufacturer to get the correct part that was damaged in shipping - he was determined to get it to work. We highly recommend his work. He treats your home as if it was his own. We look forward to working with him again."

"I found the company's owner to be honest, friendly and accommodating. The projects I hired them for ( deck repair & staining, tub caulking & drywall repair) turned out fantastic! Additionally, their price was incredibly reasonable. I will definitely be using Rick as my go to for all future household projects!!"

"I had a great experience with Hodgson Homes from start to finish. The installation was done cleanly and efficiently, and the crew was respectful of the space throughout the process. Scott was very professional and communicative. He kept me informed every step of the way and made sure everything was done to my expectations, including adding an additional gate on the side that was not in the original quote and changing hardware as needed. He also helped communicate with some neighbors questioning property lines in a way that helped rather than hindered the process. The final result looks fantastic, and I'm really happy with the quality of the work. My dog is also quite happy with his new play area 😋 Highly recommend!"

"Sean and his crew did an excellent job building a wooden handicap ramp for my husband. We needed the ramp by a certain date and it was completed as promised in one day in spite of the winter cold. We used it the next day and it was perfect, just what we needed. The ramp is well-designed to fit the area, and the work is excellent. We are very pleased with Sean and his work and recommend him highly."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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 sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
