"Mr. Moser was very professional, responding to our emails in a very timely manner. He showed up with the crew on the first day of the job and they actually began the work while it was snowing! The crew returned the next two days and were great. They were very personable, professional and they did an excellent job. Even when I asked for something extra, they provided it without question. We love our new deck!"

"This was the second time I have remodeled a bathroom and Heldt construction company did an amazing job. On the initial consult, they took the time to discuss all of the possible options for the remodel. They brought some ideas that we hadn’t thought about that were super helpful. They were a great sounding board throughout the process that helped define our ideas. We really appreciated the attention to detail. I love showing off the finished product every time someone comes over. Highly recommend!"

"Rob was very professional. He explained in great detail every step of the work he preformed. I am a customer who likes to know how my money is being spent, and he made me feel more than comfortable with every dollar spent. The deck he has built for me is absolutely beautiful. I am very happy with his work. I would highly recommend this company for any type of construction needed. His company was recommended to me by my co-worker whom also had work done by Rob. He went above and beyond to build my dream porch!! Once again BIG THANKS TO COX CONSTRUCTION ?️"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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 can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
