"The front walk on this house was slate slabs surrounded with fill pebbles and the pebbles were constantly migrating into the yard slowly driving me crazy. Mr. Laird gave me a competitive bid and installed a walk with paving stones. His work has garnered numerous complements from neighbors and has really added to the curb appeal of our house. Plus he was able to utilize the old slate slabs in a small patio at the base of the deck he was installing at the same time."

"Doug was fantastic, very responsive and knowledgeable. Took our small jobs despite having larger jobs to get done. He rehung our bedroom door to open from other side of frame which took some doing but he did the work beautifully. He also repaired drywall in the bathroom and hung a double towel rack using his own materials to ensure it was hung correctly. I would highly recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
