"Excellent work. Communication great, timing perfect. Project was framing for a 20' by 30' workspace in a larger barn. Project included a loft with a structured beam. Work was done professionally and looks great. Would have no hesitation hiring again."

Customers say: Quality work

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Elevated Home Improvements for the construction of a sunroom and deck, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Jeff Bell and his sons run this family-owned and operated business, and their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, communication was excellent. They were honest and upfront about the process, timelines, and costs, which I really appreciated. Not only did they finish the job on time, but the results were beyond my expectations. The craftsmanship was impeccable, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the work. What stood out the most was their friendly and approachable demeanor. They made sure to address any concerns I had along the way and were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. The pricing was fair and transparent, making the entire experience stress-free. I highly recommend Elevated Home Improvements to anyone looking for high-quality work, excellent communication, fair pricing, and a friendly team. You won't be disappointed with the beautiful work they do!"

"Gerardo was fantastic. He listened to me and detailed the repair to me. He did a wonderful job and I am very happy with the results. I didn't get a ton of quotes but the price seemed on the cheaper side as well. Hopefully I won't ever have to use them again but If I do have ceiling issues they will be getting my business."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
