"Paolo is an amazing contractor. I'm usually pleased if a contractor is responsive, or honest, or creative. Paolo is all of the above and more. He did an amazing job of completely rebuilding our master bath. He had great ideas, was extremely patient and flexible and wasn't satisfied until we were. His craftsmanship is beyond reproach and his crew were wonderful to have around the house (especially his father who works with him). If you can get him on your schedule, I recommend him without any hesitation.."

"Service went very well.  He is very busy and didn't have an opening in his schedule for 4-6 weeks, but we were in no rush and didn't push him.  He came out the day after I called and gave a fair quote.  His advice on the brand, type, and amount of paint needed was very helpful.  We moved the furniture to the middle of the rooms and he took care of the rest. 
One of the rooms had large areas on the walls where you could almost see through the paint after it dried, since he was here 2 days, we pointed it out the second morning and he agreed it needed one more coat than the other rooms and did so without question.  We are very satisfied with the work he did and the finished product. 
We'll be keeping him in mind for future needs.

"Casey did an outstanding job, the craftsmanship was excellent, he took his time and made sure the job was done correct the first time. While he was in my crawl space, he was sending me pictures of what he was doing, and the outlets were operational. In the shed all the outlets and switches were exactly where I wanted them. I am very happy with his work; I will be bringing him back to put in flood lights."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
