"This review is long overdue! We had the pleasure of working with Robert on renovating our new house from top to bottom almost a year ago, and we are still thrilled with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has created a deep trust in Robert. He is top of our list and we have recommended him and his team to all our family and friends. We knew he would be a good fit from the initial consultation. Roberto managed everything with care and great attention to detail. Robert and his team executed our vision so well and everyone who has been over have showered us with compliments at how good everything looks. Throughout the renovation Roberto maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated at every stage. They were always punctual, courteous, and willing to answer any questions we had. His team was respectful of our home and ensured that the worksite was clean and organized at the end of each day. The quality of workmanship has proven to be outstanding and the custom work will last us for years to come. Another impressive aspect of working with Roberto and team was their ability to stay on schedule and within budget. They provided a clear timeline at the beginning of the project and adhered to it, completing the work on time without any unexpected costs. Even after the project was completed, Roberto continued to provide exceptional customer service and followed up to ensure we were satisfied with the work. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor. Our new house is beautiful and suits us perfectly thanks to Roberto and his team!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

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. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.
