"Jeff did a beautiful job transforming our upstairs powder room into a full fledged bathroom. It was not a simple project since he had to build out the alcove for the shower stall even before building the stall itself. But everything was done with skill, professionalism, a concern for our having to live in the house and an extraordinary attention to detail that extended all the way to where towel racks should go. Jeff has also installed a dishwasher and garbage disposal for us. - from scratch - with excellent results. Jeff is a problem solver, the sort of professional you want for any job. We urge anyone who wants a home project accomplished well at a reasonable price to hire Jeff. You will be satisfied with the results."

"Chris Jackson has done work for us twice on our 5-unit multi-family apartment building – once in December 2022, and then also in January 2023. Chris’ work is high quality – he’s a seasoned contractor, handyman and "master of the "punch list" who can handle both interior and exterior issues. His expertise includes electrical, gas stove repair, faucet repair, changing locks, repairing doors, putting in thresholds and transitions, repairing windows and screens, insulating pipes, mold remediation, putting in drywall, finishing and painting, cement work, boiler work, downspout repair, and more. On top of this, Chris is a personable fellow and cares about his customers. I’m a relatively new property owner -- Chris’ advice about property safety issues and tenant relations has been helpful. More importantly though, Chris himself is a landlord, and sees things from an owner’s point of view. Here's why this is important: When I explained there was a water-damaged hallway/stairwell repair project that needed to be done incrementally due to cash flow – Chris understood immediately, and explained how it could be done in sensible, lower-cost phases. I so appreciated his flexibility. This is a big deal, because when another vendor (not Chris) gave us an estimate for a long-list of electrical projects, he absolutely refused to break it into smaller phases. We plan to hire Chris again, we've recommended him to other owners, and are preparing our next “punch list.”"

"Great experience with Hepp Landscaping! Brandon had a great plan to replace the old landscaping in the back of our home. The crew that came to work on our yard was professional and tidy. They made sure we were happy with all the plant placement before they started. Even added a couple of plants for us at the last minute, and completed the job in the time frame promised."

Customers say: Quality work

"I have been working with Mike on medium to small jobs at my house since December. Some of the things he’s done have been to re-tile my tub surround, replace my bathroom floor, replace the toilet, install shoe molding, build a door to the shower access panel and many other smaller repairs and improvements. Mike is probably the most reliable contractor I have ever worked with. He is punctual, always calls in advance to confirm appointments, follows up to see if repairs are holding up and is courteous and respectful of my home and my belongings. He cleans up thoroughly at the end of the day and puts things back even if he’s coming back the next day. His prices are more than reasonable and he always produces receipts for anything he purchases for the work. Mike is very hard working and does excellent work which is sometimes difficult as my house is almost 100 years old. Additionally, he makes every effort to work around my schedule. I would recommend Mike for any type of project you have in your home."

"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."

"He helped us install a French door, open a wall to the kitchen, add framing, and reinforce our basement joists. He is professional, skilled, and reliable, with excellent carpentry expertise. He is also honest about what he can offer and upfront about areas outside his scope of interest or expertise. I strongly recommend him."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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.
