"This contractor was professional and was very detailed with his work. I was so happy to find him, especially when I had such a bad experience with another contractor that I had gotten of Angie's list. He was able to fix the work this guy had done and for a reasonable price. I just with I had hired him from the beginning. I usually do not write comments, but really wanted to let this guy know how much he helped me with making my house beautiful.

"John Chisholm and his assistant did a rapid and very good replacement of a body shower in our large shower area. Contractor had to open a hole behind the shower in my wife's closet, close it up after re;\placing the body shower (single spray), and paint the new part. Chisholm also gave me an estimate on putting up a wall for an open-office, with various additions (but did not include a critical component I had mentioned), that was too pricey, so we did not hire the team for that work."

"The main house re-roofing went fine. The carport/storage shed flat roof, not so good. The initial project, remove old roof, bad plywood and wood joists, replace with 30lb paper and 5v metal, well. After the first rain, leaks were discovered. The contractor came back and replaced the 30lb felt with ice and snow shield and re-screwed down the metal. A couple of good rains and the roof still leaks. Not a big leak, but little leaks turn into big ones and then major repair.
I have tried to get them to come back out to repair the very minor leak for at least 6 weeks now, and all I have gotten from them is lip/text service. It will take me more time to write this negative review about their poor customer service
 then it will to make the repair!!! By the way,  the roof repair is only about 3-4 months old.

"I have used Classic for two kitchen remodels, the first with a contractor and the second by myself. My contractor had moved and my first kitchen was so beautiful I walked in and said I wanted to use them again but I was on my own. Both kitchens are beautiful but i want to give Chris extra kudos. He was wonderful. he guided me through the process every step of the way. He was responsive and kind and actually listened to what I wanted and then he made it happen. I still can’t get over how the movement in the granite flows so beautifully. He is a master. The crew that installed the granite was the best. What a beautiful job from start to finish. Thank you."

"We had a home inspection that pointed out a lot of electrical issues that needed addressed asap. I call Jake’s company and he made our home a priority and was very professional. My contractor was so impressed with him that he even started using him. The work was done on time and was done very well. Plus, the price charged was very reasonable-which is hard to find for an electrician these days. Highly recommended."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
