Steve employs only the finest subcontractors, using his own trim crew whose members are truly artists with wood. For many years, people have trusted Steve’s expertise to take their dreams and turn them into reality. Steve works closely with his clients through every phase of the building process to achieve their goals and desires for their home.

"The renovation went exceptionally well. Steve's team was professional, punctual, and respectful of my home, keeping the space clean throughout the project. They communicated every step of the process, including timelines and any challenges, and resolved unexpected plumbing issues without delay. The quality of work exceeded my expectations—every detail, from the precise backsplash tiling to the custom-built cabinetry, was top-notch. The project was completed on time and within budget, and the final kitchen looks stunning and functions perfectly for my family’s needs. I couldn’t be happier with the result."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
