"I was not sure what I wanted to replace some old pine trees that I had removed. My land was shifting without trees. Brandon felt I needed about 30 tees to secure the land and add privacy. Brandon also removed a large unhealthy bush and created a new landscape look in the front of my house. It was a lot of work and acomplished quickly. Brandon was responsive, respectful and delivered on his promises. I am very satisfied and can't wait to watch my new trees grow. I was very impressed at the way Brandon kept me in the loop. I never had to guess when workers would show up. I had other bids that were similar in price but time frames were for the fall. Other companies were really booked. I am glad I found Hepp Landscaping and got my job done within weeks. Brandon may appear young, but he is knowledgable and professional. I can be a picky customer... but can honestly say I am happy I chose this company for my yard."

"HIGHLY RECCOMEND. From the first conversation and throughout the following processes of estimates and permitting, all the way to the end of the actual build, Deck Innovation's exceeded our expectations. Michael and team were everything we were looking for and more: genuine, honest, communicative, professional, thorough and just flat-out down to earth and pleasant humans. The quality, attention to detail and authentic devotion to their craft make recommending Deck Innovations to ANYONE in the greater Pittsburgh area an absolute no-brainer. If you are anywhere in the Sewickley, Wexford, Cranberry, Greater-Pitt area and are considering a deck do your future self a favor and give Michael from Deck Innovations a call."

"The job wasn’t just done right, it was perfect. Chip took his time and did good quality work on a new pocket door in our hallway that we wanted for years. There was an old open swing door that went to our basement in a very narrow hallway and it was a nuisance. The new pocket door looks outstanding. Chip did a full install of the door with new finished drywall and added all new baseboards and casing. I highly recommend Random Remodeling. Posting before and after photos."

"Joe showed up on time and was very knowledgeable. He helped myself and my partner remove a huge kitchen worth of cabinetry with the purpose to be reinstalled at another property. He brought all the necessary tools, was friendly, and professional. All of the cabinets were removed carefully and without damage. I would absolutely hire him again. I might even ask him to come out to Buffalo to help me reinstall the cabinets once I get them refinished! He went above and beyond for our project and we're so grateful. I would encourage you to hire Joe - you won't be disappointed."

"Sam added crown molding to our dining room and did a fantastic job! It was not the easiest job considering we have an older home with unevenness and an awkward corner fireplace to work around. He was reasonably priced , very professional, and a great communicator compared to my experience with other contractors. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"Mr. Crown was Great gave me excellent advice to keep the current door I have no need to purchase a new door and install it would have cost 1,100 to 1,500 for me and I didn't have that type of budget. He fixed re-aligned the current door to stop the draft put weather stripping and new seal jams and changed locks and knobs for less than $300. Hire Mr. Crown he is Honest and fair and does great work"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.
