"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."

"They were great. They cleaned the area exceptionally well when they were finished. I had a 2 roof tear off and replace. I was very satisfied with their work. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. The price was good and he beat the competition. I had 4 quotes for the job."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Carl on a remodeling project, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial quote to the completion of the project, Carl demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. He got right in for the quote and took quick action to get the job done in a timely manner. Throughout the project, Carl was proficient, neat, and communicated every step clearly. The project involved fixing multiple holes and dings in the wall, painting, replacing baseboards, removing carpet, placing new flooring, and even changing light bulbs in a high chandelier in the entranceway. Despite the extensive work, I felt the cost was very reasonable. Carl's work was not only high-quality but also done with a friendly and approachable attitude. I would definitely use Carl's services again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable and skilled contractor. You won’t be disappointed!"

"Bob was great! He removed a deck from my property and I plan on using him again to build a new one in the spring. He was very professional, always prompt, and very detailed in all aspects of the project. Will recommend him to others!"

"Dan and his team did a great job repairing my collapsing deck. He used a creative approach to solve the foundation problems and he stuck with the job until it was completed. He also installed new deck boards and now the deck looks terrific."

"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.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
