"Tassio is one of the very best, if not THE BEST worker that I have hired during the 43 years that I have owned my home. He is honest, smart, punctual and reliable. He reviewed everything with me as he did it and explained carefully why everything that needed to be done needed doing. He replaced multiple sheets of the cedar siding on my house and uncovered many areas which the original builders did not do properly. He needed to repair some underlying plywood in addition to replacing the cedar. He was meticulous in his work. He used flashing tape and Tyvek paper over the plywood and used galvanized nails and screws. He also painted some indoor walls that had been damaged by previous water leaks. His workers did an excellent job. They were efficient and neat. They did not splatter paint where it was not supposed to be. He also pointed out other issues with my house that were not part of this repair and which I will deal with separately. I would hire him again in a minute."

"Raul and empire home improvement have done an excellent job on my cabinets, ceiling, painting and electrical work. They showed up as scheduled, gave quote in writing quickly, and arrived as promised and started working. I have tried few others but none compared to empire. The staff were polite and cleaned up after working. I did my research and this is the best renovation company in terms of quality of work, pricing, honesty and reliability. You will not be disappointed and will save yourself a lot of time, money and headaches with this company. Highly recommend."

"Frank was incredible to work with, every step of the way. We got quotes from multiple vendors, and though Frank was not the least expensive (he was right in the middle), he blew away the competition--even those higher priced--in customer service, clarity, communication, and final quality. From design through completion, we were impressed by his talent, professionalism and transparency. His contract was detailed and comprehensive, such that we knew exactly what we were getting, how it would be constructed, and when each piece of the project would be completed and delivered. He sent us beautiful photos of his process throughout construction. He was quick to answer questions via text, and sent us gentle reminders when we had design questions to answer for him. When he arrived for the final installation, he was poised and incredibly competent, plus just a great guy- he even charmed our two toddlers and got them to follow safety rules - and they STILL ask for him a month later. When he encountered hiccups along the way (taping ripped paint right off our wall), he took it in stride, fixed the problem (though it wasn't his fault) and left it better than he found it. The final product is absolutely stunning and solid. The kids can climb the wrap-around 11 foot bookcases, and while they might get injured in the process - it won't be because of a flaw in the bookcases; these things are built to last forever. Frank even guarantees his work and includes returns for touch ups when the wood shrinks and moves seasonally. We will definitely use Frank and his team again, and we recommend him to everyone we know."

"I hired E-G Works to replace sheetrock that was water damaged in my basement, replace a door with frame, replace moldings and paint the entire basement. Edgar was highly responsive, professional and prompt from providing the estimate through completing the work. I made a few small changes along the way and he rolled with it with no problem. He did high quality work and completed the job on time! I would recommend E-G Works and I will hire them again."

"We couldn’t be happier with our two new bathrooms! The entire renovation, from start to finish, was a top-notch experience. We’ve never had the pleasure of working with a contractor as knowledgeable, reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of our home as Fabian. He is highly skilled and has a great vision. The bathrooms look amazing—highly recommend!"

Woodworking 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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Floor joists provide support and stability to the flooring installed above them, whether it be hardwood, tile, or carpet. They’re essentially horizontal beams that hold up the subfloor and everything that lies on top of it. Floor joists also help evenly distribute weight across their structure so that it’s shared between walls, beams, and your foundation.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.
