"Joe Woods and Just Right Carpentry did a superb job building our new deck. They were responsive, kind, and easy to work with. In addition to building a beautiful deck at a reasonable price, they left everything neat and clean after they left. They went above and beyond and I will certainly use their services again."

"​A great experience from start to finish! The work Eddy and Berta did on our deck was handled with such care, moving swiftly yet thoroughly. They are true professionals—it is clearly in their nature to do an exceptional job. ​We are so glad to have found a small local company that delivers this level of high-quality work. Even though our job was a repair, they were able to get it all done in one long, dedicated day (all hands on deck!). They even threw in a perfect cleanup and a power wash. What a relief for us! Many thanks to Star Dynasty Construction!"

"Tom was really great to work with. I requested an estimate for repairs to the vinyl siding on my house. He responded to my request for an estimate immediately and was even willing to inspect the damage and give an estimate on Christmas Eve. His price was more than reasonable and he came back and completed the repair within a few days. His work was beautiful and he meticulously cleaned up my yard once he was finished. I highly recommend Skyline and will absolutely use them again."

"Being a retired carpenter, I'm very picky when it comes to hiring out work on my home. It's hard to find someone with the knowledge required who is willing to put in the time to do a job properly. Luan put the time in and does very nice, clean work. I would definitely hire him again. Very nice guy as well!"

Customers say: True professional

"Walter from Jag construction has done a few projects for us as well as some commercial work at our building to mention a few. We started with our commercial property in Smithtown. He came in and went right to work and the timeline was fantastic. We called him to our home to finish our basement thereafter. I was so impressed I also had him reconfigure our first floor laundry room as well. This year he’s doing a few more projects here! It’s not everyday you find a professional that treats your home like his own and his recommendations are always well planned and precise which to me is greatly appreciated. I can’t say enough good things about this contractor and would have him do any project beyond my scope at either our home or business alike. A++++ Frank and Mary O’Donnell Speonk, NY"

Small jobs welcome

"They were prompt, friendly and knew what they needed to do in the installation of gas struts on my basemen trap door. When the first set wasn't large enough to do the job and they had to come back to use larger ones, they did so without hesitation. Carpenter was friendly and courteous. I would definitely recommend this company."

"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

Carpentry FAQs, 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.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
