"Carlos and his team did an amazing job building out my new fence and the new patio cover, as well as laying a concrete slab for the patio. Would highly recommend them. From his work, he's gotten two other jobs in the neighborhood."

"I’ve had several custom closets built and installed over the past 20 years. Even though I was presented with a design, what I didn’t know was that a matching backboard wasn’t included in the price, nor was it disclosed that it would be an up-charge. Since I wasn’t there during and after the installation, I was dumbfounded by the exposed walls. His installer left fingerprints on the chrome bars which were cleaned up the following day. Since I broke the cardinal rule of don’t pay 100% before the end installation, this one is on me. Also, Don’t always trust a 100%, 5-star reviews. I’m giving them 3 stars for the quality of materials."

"If you have a leaning fence or need it stained or a deck built these are the guys to hire. I did for all three of the above and they really know what they are doing. They basically dug under the entire fence, straightened and reconcreted the poles, then reattached the fence. Afterwards they powerwashed and stained the fence. Then they build my new deck. Work with a pro, Jaime is your guy!"

"Needed a barbed wire fence installed between my neighbor and I, with corner and center supports. Only about 230 total feet. Hector and his crew showed up that morning when promised and got to work. They finished that afternoon and the fence was perfect. They did an exceptional job! I would not hesitate to recommend HM Services! In fact I will be using them in the future!"

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
