"As far as remodeling projects go- and we have done quite a few, this was by far the easiest job we have hired. Every step of the way John informed us on the progress of our remodel- we added a room in the unfinished part of our basement. He finished on time and within budget. (He even took care of a few mistakes made by other contractors- many of which he didn't even charge us for!) We will definitely have them back again. HIGHLY recommend."

"Work was started promptly in early July and accomplished efficiently, until it slowed down and dragged on. Crew was pleasant and capable.   Work was finally completed in mid-November, after dispute over final payment. Major work was well done overall but the finishing up was not as well done. To successfully work with Buccilli Contractor it is essential that the contractor's proposal specify all work to be performed.  I accepted a general kitchen remodel proposal and then had a dispute over $2,000 for installation of backsplash, which I believed to be part of proposal.  Dominic Buccilli is a decent man and we resolved the issue.

"He did a great job, by far much better quality than many contractors I have dealt with, which I have been many. He did alot of stuff each day he was here working and I would recommend him to others. Jamie was also willing to work later to finish the house as it was going on the market shortly, which I appreciated."

"Team hired to wall demo, soffit removal, drywall repair for both, replacement wiring, new wiring, 350 sq ft porcelain tile

installation.

Eli met with us for over an hour, listening to what we wanted for the remodel.   He provided excellent direction and ideas, helping us decide based on professional opinion and current trends.   Trying to save money, we asked if we could perform some of the tasks on the quote, such as cabinet and floor removal.   Eli reduced the quote, working with us and identifying things we could do or change in order to lower the price.

Demo was quick.  Crew did a great job cleaning up afterwards.  Time was taken to make sure demo was completed leaving nice, clean lines for the drywall guy.

Had to change plans and increase work on wiring job and ceiling patch.  Ceiling had to be completely removed vs. the originally planned few patch jobs.  Additional light boxes and a few other items had to be purchased, not included in original quote.  The new charges were reasonable, covering additional supplies required and not the labor.  Eli went the extra mile to keep us as close to budget as possible.

Drywall patching in numerous areas turned out perfect.  We were told by other contractors the job could not be done without complete removal.  The patches turned out seamless and beautiful, can't even tell where things were patched.  Ended up patching more of the ceiling than originally planned due to wiring issues.

Had a few surprises with the floor as well, and couldn?t have known until after demo.  Again, the team addressed the issue and solved it quickly and for minimal additional charge.  Team installed 350 sq ft of 12x24? porcelain tile in dining room and kitchen.  A few tiles weren?t exactly level.  When reviewing the completed job, the team decided to pull them up and replace.

Eli and all members of his team were professional, friendly, hardworking, and skilled.

The quote was well below competition.  

Highly recommend and will use for any future needs."

Unfinished 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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
