The lead, Samuel Nelson, listened carefully to everything that I said and then provided valuable feedback that resulted in a better outcome and lower overall cost. I am more than pleased to be able to recommend Nelson General Contractor."

"The cost and execution of an extensive renovation project are stressful and overwhelming. You need a contractor that understands your vision, protects your investment, and respects your budget. We received several quotes before awarding the project to Joe Stillman. It felt like we found a unicorn, and Joe & company did not disappoint! It starts from the top, Joe, Rebecca, Kris, Robert (our fantastic Project Manager), Steven, and others, who treated our project as if it was their own with integrity and the highest standards. Each day, the team arrived on time, checked in at the start of the day, and provided a recap at the end and what to expect the next day, soliciting feedback along the way. It was so exciting to see our dream kitchen come to fruition (on time and on budget!). We would not hesitate to recommend Joe Stillman to our family and friends; exceptional craftsmanship! Big thanks to Joe Stillman and the team; we are so appreciative!"

"I am absolutely pleased with GJP Developers. From my initial meeting with, Gary, the owner, throughout the entire project experience, there was clear consistent communication. All of my questions were answered. The crew were efficient, timely, respectful and skilled. They built a powder room on my 1st floor. The job was completed earlier than the original plan. I recommend GJP Developers with the highest commendations."

"I was very impressed with Fabiano Construction and the pro who did the work at my home. They replaced my stairs and handrail! The pro was so friendly and genuinely cared about the job he was doing. He was very professional and his work was impeccable! He was neat and cleaned up along the way. He answered all our questions and never acted like we were disturbing him. I would recommend this company to perform all your construction projects! They are a 10!!"

"

I interviewed 4-5 angie list contractors.  Total Home was second most competitive on price, but I chose them because of their professionalism throughout the process.  Some of the other contractors, while I'm sure they would have done a good job end of day, I didn't have anywhere near the same confidence level that they would complete on time and on budget.  Tom was a pro from day 1...accurate on budget, 2. responsive, 3. responsive in punch items after the main construction was done.

If you want a professional good contractor you can have faith in doing what they say throughout the process, Total Home is a good choice.  Bathroom came out really well.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
