"When we began the process of our bathroom renovation, we were very impressed with Sam right off the bat. He is a very genuine, knowledgeable, professional and honest person. Once we met him and discussed what we wanted to do, we knew we wanted Sam to handle our renovation. Sam showed up when he said he would and worked every day straight through until the project was finished. He didn't start and then disappear for days or weeks and then show up again. When we met with the inevitable "unexpected issues" that come up with any renovation, Sam always had at least a couple of ideas/options for us to consider relative to dealing with those issues. Sam always cleaned up any debris, etc., and left everything very neat and clean. We are beyond pleased with the results and would certainly use Sam again. We would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone needing any sort of home improvements or repairs. Thanks, Sam, you're awesome!"

"Michael and his co-worker were prompt, neat, respectful of our property, took the time to do all necessary prep work, and professional. They did carpentry work as well as painting. They showed up on time and completed the job quickly. They did excellent work. Michael returns phone calls, visited the site, gave a prompt proposal and gave us a reasonable start date. These are qualities that are hard to find! Highly recommend."

"We used Rivera Construction to reconstruct our deck, and we couldn’t be happier! Andrew and Dan are real pros, especially at a time when finding responsive and reliable help is so hard to find. Rivera provided us with detailed estimates, and they were very upfront and communicative as issues came up. They provided a realistic and true to schedule timeline and knew how to work with the town for permits and inspections. We will definitely use them again for our home renovation needs!"

"We had a wonderful experience with Fabian who replaced our shower and sink in the bathroom (as well as building BEAUTIFUL shelves) and he replaced our screen door. He was very flexible and accommodating to our needs. He made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. No more worrying about finding a great contractor - we've found him!"

"He put Pcv boards around three sides.of my Shed. Just done yesterday 5/14 and since today has been raining I haven't checked to see how it's handling the rain run-off. But as far as installing the boards, it looks great."

Carpentry questions, 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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
