Customers say: True professional

"When we bought our house we needed to completely replace the carpeting with laminate flooring before we could move in. Pat helped us get everything handled quickly and the floors came out looking great. He was very knowledgeable about the process and we will definitely be working with him again for other home improvement projects."

"From the very beginning, and throughout the entire process, Mark Michaels of Great Designs Inc was an absolute pleasure to work with as my business expanded into a new commercial space. Mark was extremely responsive and communication was always prompt and efficient. The architectural drawings he created were completed much faster than expected and the ability to view the space in 3D and do a virtual walkthrough was fantastic. Aside from creating the drawings, Mark went above and beyond my expectations as he sought out various contractors that focus on the specialized type of work I needed to have done. Also, on several occasions, Mark was sure to contact the town and other agencies to check that various codes and requirements would be met. It was a great comfort knowing that Mark was taking the time to ensure every detail was covered. This proved to be especially helpful when applying for the numerous permits. Based on my experience with Mark Michaels, I highly recommend him to anyone seeking his services and I would not hesitate to contact him the next time the need arises."

"Asm was easy to deal with and very accommodating to special requests. His workers were professional and respectful of building occupants and neighbors. A couple of times I noticed things that needed to be corrected and he and his workers were responsive and addressed the issues right away. I interviewed 5 contractors and Asm's knowledge and proposal was the best out of them. For example, he knew to use "soft" mortar on old (100+ year) brick, otherwise the brick can be damaged over time. This was a 3-story, 2-family row house in Brooklyn, NY. There were multiple layers of paint on the brick. They were able to remove ALL of the paint. The bricks were difficult to repoint since they had tight (1/8") joints. They did a great job of repointing these with mortar neatly in the joint with no mortar outside. There were 4 brownstone lintels that had flower designs in them that were all chipped and broken. They recreated these patterns almost exactly based on a picture. His carver was truly an artist. See pictures. I would definitely hire Asm and Hudson Contracting again for a masonry project in NYC. He was easy to work with and very professional."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.
