"Jason was wonderful to work with. We contacted many contractors to discuss our renovations. Jason was by far the most responsive, thorough, professional and easiest to work with. He was available and patient with all of our endless questions. We had many issues along the way including configuring kitchen layout, broken medicine cabinets, floor refinishing, delayed appliances, etc. It was all extremely stressful, but working with Jason made the process more manageable. I joke that he was also a marriage counselor for us since my husband and I didn't agree on everything, shockingly. :) I highly recommend working with Jason!"

"I recently closed on my new-build condo in Stuyvesant Heights area of Brooklyn this past March 2023, & needed a local general contractor to execute a long list of works to bring my designs for the unit to life & add some character to it. When I contacted Waxtel LLC, Dave (owner) priced the large job I requested (general contractor, electrical, and plumbing works) reasonably within my budget, was very responsive, & kept communication clear. Rich (PM) helped support the contractor team in execution of the works, but myself/husband did have to handhold some of the contractor works to ensure it was done on time & met our quality standards."

"I wish I could give C & M even more stars! My experience with Matt, Jose, Matteo and Juan (as well as everyone else working for them) could not have been better. C & M renovated an office space for me and they did an amazing job. They added new walls and doors (were even able to make them soundproof), new floors, a new bathroom, a new kitchenette, re-wired for a split system, painted, wallpapered, and more. Yes, this was a big project for me, renovating, furnishing, dealing with a co-op board, dealing with city and state offices, lots of stress to say the least. But then there was Matt and the C & M team--ahhhh, stress-free: really! Imagine a contractor that anticipates the next thing to be done; think of a small thing that you would like, and before you ask for it, it is done. Imagine a contractor who is honest, kind, thoughtful, really smart, professional, works clean, and is meticulous in the execution of everything. He was done before I thought he would be! No, it is not a dream: it is C & M. I cannot say enough good things about C & M. Consider yourself lucky to be able to hire them."

"Started work very quickly. Foreman was great. Tile work was fabulous. Everything looked great in the end. Stuck to the contract pricing. Had to add some additional expenses because I wanted additional work. Did not like the electrician Alfred who took a long time to do his work. Had to visit often to ensure everything was as I wanted. When it wasn't they were quick to change it. The end result was stunning. Nearly everyone who saw the work asked who the contractor was."

"Bex is hands down the most capable and reliable contractor I've ever worked with. I have thrown all sorts of challenges at him in our new apartment, from removing a pocket door and converting it into a regular door, to fixing the wall and plumbing behind our washer/dryer and much more. He has met every challenge. He's also very courteous and careful. I can't recommend him enough!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.
