"We recently had Jeff install a new electrical outlet and he was able to squeeze us in right before Christmas even with his busy schedule. In the past we've had him repair siding and do a basement remodel and he's been great with everything. He went out of his way to make sure the siding replacement matched the old color perfectly when it was very difficult to find. I've seen a lot of siding repairs not match the original color so this seems to be uncommon. He transformed our basement from a basically unusable space to what's now probably my favorite room in the house. He's always been a pleasure to deal with, honest about work that needs to be done, and responds very quickly. One of the things I appreciate most is that he'll do a job the way you want it to be done and do it the right way. We've had too many people try to cut corners and tell us how they want things done so it's refreshing to find a professional that will treat you right. Highly recommended!"

"Chris was recommended by a colleague who is a perfectionist. I therefore knew immediately this would be a great referral. We needed Chris to undo a badly botched wallpaper removal & paint job. A number of paint contractors had assessed this job & refused to take it on. Chris’ team acknowledged that it would be a difficult job but in the end did stunning work. Importantly, they started & completed the work in the time frame promised. He also kept to his original quote & checked daily on our satisfaction. Without a doubt the best painting work we have had done in 35 years. We would definitely hire Chris for any future projects & recommend him highly."

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Mike initially to fix the drywall and paint the interior of the condo that we were planning to move in. He was very easy to communicate from the beginning to the end, showed up on time and worked hard every day, did a thorough job that did not miss any details and gave us a very fair price. Because we liked him so much, we ended up hiring him for other jobs including plumbing, lighting, installing appliances and cabinet painting. Throughout this process, he was trustworthy, very knowledgeable in his work and tried really hard to accommodate my schedule. Although we were on a tight schedule, we were able to move into our apartment on time because of his excellent work ethic. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him for any home improvement projects."

"Jim, Anthony, and Nicole did an outstanding job resurfacing our kitchen cabinets. Everyone thinks we replaced them because of how professionally Munion Cabinets performed the resurfacing. They also did an outstanding job installing a ceramic tile floor in our powder room as well as panel flooring in the laundry room. I highly recommend Munion Cabinets for any type of remodeling work. They are professional and honest and very easy to work with."

"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 is meticulous, prompt, fast, courteous, goes above and beyond, fair, ensures your complete and total satisfaction and he knows how to do EVERYTHING. I have been through so many contractors and no one comes close to his ability, work ethic, professionalism, or quality. I already hired him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

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.
