"Jeff was very responsive, from the first call to the last nail. He came quickly to look at what we needed, e-mailed me an estimate later that day. Our timing was perfect; he had just completed a job and was waiting on starting the next, and we were ready to have our work done. I let him know the job was his and he came with his crew the next morning. It was done the following day. The area in which they worked is as clear as if they'd never been there. We were on the fence as to whether it made sense to repair/reside the shed or just replace it. In the end, we're very glad we did, and clearly chose the right contractor to do the job."

"Excellent! Alta Renovations did my bathroom from the studs out. Tile, sheetrock, floor, vanity and the plumbing and towel hardware. The job was was in a co-op, with very frustrating "rules" and "requirements ". Most contractors would not want to participate (paperwork, time schedules and parking restrictions). Jose, the owner of Alta, abided by all the rules, whiles still keeping a smile!!! His workers worked neatly and orderly, knew exactly what had to be done, and did it. Very pleased. I'm recommending him to all my ? ? ? ? ?"

"Joe did a fantastic job rebuilding a closet in my brothers house. As well as building a new wall in my home. His work is high quality and his price is very reasonable by comparison to other contractors out there. Cleans up extremely well afterwards also. Highly recommend"

"Homecraft did an exquisite and flawless job remodeling our bathroom. We particularly appreciated the undivided attention that is allowed by their appointment system for consultations. They worked with us to customize the features to suit our needs and were open and creative in responding to our non-standard requests. The carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and tile work were performed by craftsmen who were clearly masters of their trades. Our old house served up a few surprises during the remodeling but Homecraft was able to resolve every problem with their connections to top-notch contractors outside of their usual services."

"I used these guys for a remodeling job which included bathroom renovation, some minor electrical work, knocking down and installing new dry wall and painting. Class acts! We all hear horror stories about contractors not calling you back or not showing up on time or showing up at all. Not these guys! Hector, Moises and their crew really did exactly what they said they were going to do. Friendly, responsive and oh yea, solid work! Professional through and through! Highly recommend them and would use them again!"

"This contractor was prompt and on time, with a great attitude. His crew was efficient and clean, and completed the job on schedule. The pictures show unpainted wood because it needs time to sit out, but the contractor will be back to paint and do additional work in September. I would highly recommend them!"

"Artie & Mike are simply the best. I used them to: 1) Build a LARGE extension to my house and redo my entire kitchen and dining room. The job was completed on time and on budget. Throughout the process Artie was transparent & professional. EVERY person who has stepped into my house has complimented at the detailed perfection. 3) Artie built us a custom walk in pantry 2) Built 2 large decks in the backyard as well as an outdoor shower. This project was completed on time, on budget while exceeding all expectations. If you are looking for a contractor and crew that is responsible, responsive, polite, creative and delivers the HIGHEST LEVEL of quality - Artie is the one."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.
