"Javier painted my 25x10 deck and ceiling above it. He was prompt onetime and did a good job. There was a mix up in the color of the paint which was not his fault. I paid in full for the work. He offered to stop back and give the deck another coat with the right color. He has not returned yet but hope he does. Nice man and good work."

"We recently found Victor on Angie’s list and he is absolute fantastic! We recently moved in and need help with all kinds of projects from painting to deck work to electrical and more. He couldn’t be more lively to work with. He is very responsive and has fair prices. I highly recommend him! We will be using Victor and his great crew for all future house projects. Thank you, Victor!!"

"Jason is a first class contractor. We hired him to build a deck, refurbish our outdoor shower and built two patios. Outstanding workmanship, kept the work area neat and clean during construction, fair pricing and followed through with everything that he said he would do. A great find and would recommend him to all. Thank you!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
