"Brilliant job! David Lambert working with Walter Miranda’s crew did a superlative job. Walter figured a way to use less Trex on my deck and so $4000 was removed from my bill. Great communication with David Lambert on costed and job specifications. We got exactly what we wanted in a short amount of time. Tremendous work ethic from the crew. We are quite pleased. We want to reno the basement to a mother in law apartment and we will be contacting David for that in the near future."

"It went awesome from start to finish and we could not be happier with the finished product! Just like last time when they built our custom deck and screened in porch! Troy is a true Craftsman and always does exactly what he says he's going to do without ever trying to cut corners! If we had one message to tell to other people who's looking for a contractor It would have to be not to hesitate on hiring Troy for your project!"

"Sean and his partner Clarenceare very competent craftsmen dedicated to excellence and are like family, having known and worked together much of their professional life, and they higher and manage good speciality contractors. They encountered many challenges in the old construction which they resolved with resourcefulness and completely to our satisfaction. They are friendly and caring. The finished apartment is a work of art and we feel fortunate. In SLW we benefitted from a high-end builder but at an average price. SLW Construction has the high principles, competency, dedication and fair prices of small town businesses of the mid-twentieth century when quality of life was greater."

"It is so refreshing in today’s market to find a company and staff that bestow such wonderful customer-focused qualities (such as effective communication, quality workmanship, professional, positive work ethic, respect, dependability, follow-through, and excellence) – that is exactly what we found in Classic Granite & Marble (CGM) in Midlothian, Virginia. We researched CGM’s reviews and certainly can attest to alignment with our personal experience. We initially went into CGM to select a granite top for our sewing machine base. However, we also knew, at some point in time, we wanted to remodel our kitchen. From the first time we walked into the showroom, we were greeted with a busy, but extremely friendly and professional receptionist, Donna. We had the pleasure of working with Kristi McGaugh, who was professional, very helpful, and thorough with our granite selection. Kristi was also resourceful in making a personal recommendation for another contractor, who also had excellent reviews, and we did actually remodel our kitchen feeling confident we had the right team working on our project. The staff CGM sent out (Joe to template the countertops; Scott, Arturo, and Jimmy to install the countertops; and Bubba, plumber) were all of the customer-focused qualities aforementioned. We are very pleased with our kitchen remodel project, and we would unreservedly, highly recommend CGM to a prospective customer."

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
