"Dave did really good work, particularly with the drywall. He got back to me quickly, asked me questions when he needed to, and made three separate trips to get the work completed quickly. The reason for the B instead of an A is the cost (about $100 more than another estimate I got) and the fact that I he didn't have all the necessary tools to do the job (I had to cut wood for him to put behind the drywall and we needed to use my cordless drill to hang the medicine cabinet together). All that said, he was friendly, professional and did good work, so I would hire him again."

"Scott did an outstanding job on the roof of the garage/and back half of the house. They installed and repaired gutters. Then they moved all the furniture, painted the whole first floor and removed some wallpaper. Replace some ceiling tiles. We are having them return to install a handrail and a towel bar. We would highly recommend them for any of your home repair needs."

"It went excellent. Carl was fast and efficient. Had the job done pretty fast and it came out perfect. He was very neat and cleaned up after he was finished. He kept me posted as to exact arrival time and his price for the work done was well within my budget. I will def. hire him again. Marcia Brugnoni"

"Ron LaMarti and Luke LaMarti are professional,reliable,and very skilled craftsmen. They were extremely easy to work with and very knowledgeable of all areas of remodeling and home repair. The deck we hired them to build for us is beautiful and so well constructed. We love it! We have requested more quotes on other projects which they will soon be doing for us. They are so accommodating to work with our schedule and just super nice people who we feel very comfortable having in our home. We highly recommend their services. They also are affordable. Hire them and you won t be disappointed! Trish Fazio."

"Excellent experience. Zach was able to make it over to look at my damaged siding the very next day. He was able to do the repairs immediately, and did a superb job for an incredible price. I will use Zach for any future work that I need done and would highly recommend others do the same!"

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
