"Great guys. Polite and engaging. Refreshing to find contractors that are punctual, great communicators and do what they originally said they would do. Have already discussed other projects that I will be having these gentlemen do in the future."

"We recently hired Contractor Corey for two major renovation projects in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He transformed our son’s bedroom into a fun and functional space, complete with a custom-built bed and an incredible climbing wall that our son absolutely loves. Corey’s creativity and craftsmanship really made the room something special. In addition to the bedroom, Corey renovated our guest bathroom, which now feels like a spa retreat. He installed heated tile floors, a new bathtub, vanity, toilets, and updated lighting—every detail was done with care and precision. His attention to detail was spot on throughout the entire process, and the quality of his work truly speaks for itself. Corey was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We’re so impressed with his work and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful contractor."

"I had a great experience with Bar T Bar. John is clearly very knowledgeable about all things home improvement and is super fair / honest. I appreciated that I was kept in the loop throughout the entire project. John and Mark were very professional and they stayed right on budget and right on time. Very impressed with them overall and I can’t wait to reach out again for our next project!!"

"We did almost the entire house through Paul. Some of his workmanship - especially the fine details like small paint splatter, garage floor epoxy coat application, and cabinet painting - was 3 stars at first. Other work he did - installing new plumbing fixtures, bathtub sliding doors, sheet metal exhaust for kitchen - were 5 stars. Paul consistently worked to get it right and make me happy. He was always responsive and available. His attitude is 5 starts. He was open about his costs. Some things dragged on but most remodel contractors suffer from this ailment. Because of the scarcity of tradesmen in Bend/Central Oregon, I recommend learning the history about his subcontractors before they start work on your house. Most were good but a couple did not have the right experience."

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.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.
