"I recently had the pleasure of utilizing Angieâ s List for the first time to find a professional to install closet doors, and I couldnâ t be more thrilled with the outcome. Within minutes of submitting my request on Angieâ s List, I came across Demetris. From our initial phone conversation to meeting him in person, I was thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and genuine kindness. Demetris is not just a contractor; he is a true craftsman who takes pride in his work. His attention to detail is impeccable, and it is evident that he strives for perfection in every project he undertakes. What sets Demetris apart is not only his exceptional craftsmanship but also his integrity and reliability. In a world where these qualities are becoming increasingly rare, Demetris stands out as a beacon of honesty and ethical business practices. From start to finish, working with Demetris was a seamless and enjoyable experience. He communicated effectively, listened attentively to my needs, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. It is clear that Demetris is dedicated to providing top-notch service to his clients, and his passion for his craft shines through in the quality of his work. If you are in need of closet door installation or any other carpentry services, I wholeheartedly recommend Demetris. He is a true professional who embodies the values of honesty, reliability, and excellence. Thank you, Demetris, for transforming my space and making the process stress-free and enjoyable!"

"Called and gave a scope of the work and was given a quote which I accepted. The guys showed up at exactly 8am as promised. Placed tarps in the work area and out to the front door. Proceeded to do the work removing old stairs and framing out the ceiling. Installed new stairs in place. Kept me appraised as to their progress. Completed the job on time. Cleaned up the work area. Happy with the way the job went. Would higher again."

"I called and they responded immediately.. Came out to house and gave a reasonable estimate for job.. I hired them and they had the job done in two days, workers were nice and friendly. They matched my siding and you can not even tell where the new siding was installed. Very happy with the job they did, decided to get to do my gutters also, and get a estimate for them to paint and seal my new deck. Patricia P"

"SwiftBuild Construction replaced my roof and gutters as well as repaired some exterior woodwork. The experience was professional, no new upcharges came up that were not discussed at the time of the contract, if some issues were found they completed the work without any adjustments to the price. The site was cleaned up completely, their supervisors were on site all the time to answer any questions. Prices were competitive and the work schedule was followed closely. Completely satisfied."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
