"Fantastic, I was so pleased to get an estimate half the price of 2 different contractors selling for Jacuzzi-one day shower remodels, and jacuzzi was only redoing the shower walls, pan and grab bars only. King’s Remodeling and Restoration did my whole bathroom to include a shower door, shower seat, knitch, took out a drop ceiling and tiled porcelain tile to the ceiling, put in mosaic matted tile for the shower floor, put in new vanity and replaced bathroom floor with LVT. They also replaced the trim and painted the bathroom. It looks great! Very happy with the professionalism of the staff and the abilities of the staff, especially their Tiler- Chris H. I am having King’s back to do flooring for me and to redo my second bathroom. I recommend King’s Remodeling and Restoration Very highly. I would be glad to provide before and after photos of my bathroom. Thank you for the chance to review this company."

"Fall Hill Contractor does excellent work. They listen carefully to your comments and will make adjustments if needed. What I like best about Fall Hill Contractors is that they are honest. They do what say they are going to do at the price originally given"

"I have worked with Tony on several projects ranging from as small a punch list of repairs for a homeowner selling a property and as large as a full renovation where we completely remodel the entire home literally from top to bottom. Every time he is punctual and does quality within our deadlines. There is no job too small or too big that him and his team can’t handle!!!"

"Happened 1/7/2018 and waited for contractor to begin-when I was told might go into April start date,I called Custom Built and Painted and spoke to Matt Steinhilber. I couldn't believe it when he said he could estimate the following day and start the following Monday. Mr. Steinhilber did everything he promised and much more. All the problems of moldings,bumps and holes were addressed and he was brilliant with paint color. Helped a very indecisive person make a decision. I will use Custom built and painted for jobs in the future and we couldn't be happier. Thanks Matt and to his superb talented crew."

"Got bids from 3 recommended contractors who had all done work for friends. Cisco Contracting assessed the problem well and gave a highly competitive price to replace the full ceiling, but suggested that could probably fix the area of apparent defect even cheaper and faster, Discovered that the 100 year old ceiling was nailed, not screwed, in, the joists were uneven, and the remaining ceiling was poorly secured, gaping several inched towards the center of the room. Previous repairs had added inches of plaster and many, many pounds of weight. Recommended strongly that entire ceiling be removed, and joists shimmed to parallel so that ceiling boards could be securely screwed to the joists. Only took one more (long) day. Final price keep to original quote to do the full ceiling (including shimming the joists), which was less than half of one of the other quotes. Great communication; showed us the problem as soon as discovered. Cleaned up well. We then hired them for several other larger projects."

Unfinished 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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
