"Steve assembled a trampoline for me in about 3 hours on a Friday morning. He was kind, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the whole process. He broke a bolt during installation and drove to the local hardware store to replace it. He also hauled all the trash away for a small, reasonable extra fee that was negotiated in the spot. Zero complaints. Just good work. Steve will be the first person I call for assistance with other jobs from now on for sure. Thank you!"

"I hired Michele to demo existing tile backsplash and install new. She was able to preserve the majority of the underlying wall and prime if for the new tile which in itself was a large task as it appeared that it was not professionally installed. She took her time to ensure that the tile was straight and that the grout lines were symmetrical. It looked very clean and precise. She was prompt everyday, she cleaned up after herself every day, was was quiet and respectful during her time working on the job which was important because my husband works from home. She completed the job in the planned time frame and on the days as promised to accommodate our schedule. I will recommend Michele to anyone needing high quality tile work in the future! If we have any other jobs we will definitely reach out to her."

"What a great experience with Travis - professional, honest, timely, and a good communicator. I had a 14 year old deck that looked tired and needed a new look .Travis suggested we were able to still use the frame and totally update everything else( composite floor and steps, wood railings and aluminum balusters) for a very good cost savings over most , or should I say ALL other deck builders!!!! I appreciate his honesty and forthrightness during the whole process. There was no long wait to rebuild it or no delays during the process. My deck is beautiful, It speaks quality. I am happy. Such a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend. Thank you Travis."

"First class company. We initially received a free estimate based on the work we wanted done on the driveway. Their price was right in the ballpark with other estimates. However, what sold us on the The Driveway Lady was the confidence and knowledge exhibited. Every question was answered expertly and every challenge we presented was mitigated. They offered great suggestions to make the project not only eye appealing, but cost effective as well. We had two visits by the owner to make sure the job was going well and that we were satisfied. Strongly recommend The Driveway Lady, LLC to anyone needing driveway repair and resurfacing and/or concrete work."

"Very professional. They had an issue with the pressure washer. Came back the next morning (worked with me on time) to finish. While they were here on day 1, they noted additional things for me: 1) roof had mold/moss on it 2) gutter was not pitched correctly They gave me a "package deal" for the power washing and roof cleaning. it looks great. Gutters look like new. Stucco (that was stained and black under the deck) looks like new. I'm very happy and would recommend!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
