"I would recommend this gentleman to anyone who needs painting or repairs. My large pergola had rotten wood that he repaired and replaced. It was full of mold and mildew, and he power washed it. He stained it twice. It looks wonderful. He was always on time and worked tirelessly to complete the job."

"Gary(owner) is a very honest, straightforward, humble guy. I hired him to assess a reported carpenter ants damage in a certain area of my house by a hose inspector. When Gary looked at the area, you can "see" the truthfulness of his assessment. You can feel in his words that he is not trying to substantiate the inspector's report, but rather debunked it. And out of the kindness of his heart, he refused charging for a consultation fee... Highly, highly recommended..."

"On time, courteous, professional, on budget! Work completed exactly as discussed, and cleaned up job site, this was a fairly extensive fence repair and Eric did not try to up-sell me to a new fence like other contractors I had bid the project. He understood our desire to keep the â old lookâ of our fence and bid the job accordingly - exactly what we wanted. Will use him again should we need other repair/remodeling work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.
