"Dover treated us extremely well from the very beginning; we never felt like another customer of theirs was more important. They listened to everything we wanted to accomplish within our budget and came back with some great ideas we had not thought of ourselves. Their designer, Dave, accompanied us to pick out cabinets and countertops as well as flooring and tile. He offered his advice but was never pushy with his opinions. Despite having wait two months to begin construction (which is what all of the contractors we talked to were quoting at the time), Dover started work the day they quoted on the contract. Very few issues came up during the construction project and the production manager, Dan, was quick to take care of them when they did. Their workers were extremely friendly and did a great job keeping the place reasonably clean. All of their subcontractors were also courteous and made sure to introduce themselves when they arrived the first day. The project was completed one day after their estimated date and that was due solely to an issue outside of their control with a supplier. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Dover. "

"I thought they were great. They were timely, and they had good work ethic. They found things that they didn't think they would find, and they had no problem with solving the problem. They cleaned up after themselves very nicely. The only downside is that they are priced higher than your average contractor, but they do a nice job. We had several people looking at the job. Some people didn't even call us back. I thought they did a great job."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
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 may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.
It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
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.
