"We hired Mighty Dad in late spring/early summer of 2020 to do the construction part of a deck remodeling job (plus the last not-insignificant demolition step that we didn't finish). He replaced the old weathered wood planking with composite material and railing, and worked around some challenging deficiencies in the original underlying deck frame so we wouldn't have to completely replace the entire structure at much higher cost. Jeff worked around our schedule and kept us apprised of any questions or unexpected things that came up. We're totally happy with the end result, and it should last for many enjoyable years with almost no maintenance!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"They were very prompt in calling me about project. May use them if I can't complete the job myself. Thanks for the quick response. I was really only searching for contacts in my area for a very small trim job. Seems Home Advisor is pulling search data from Angies List and then charging their listed contractors a "lead generation" fee for the contact info."

"Glen put my roof on in 2017, the best quality and price. He removed 2 old roofs before installing new, & made sure no stray nails were on ground, taking great pride in his work. Years later, I had him give an estimate on my screened in porch this morning. Impeccable reputation, follows up with his customer long after the sale, he is the first name in my little 'homeowner black book' of reputable contractors I always depend on."

"Overall, David and team did a great job building these cabinets! It was done and installed much quicker than anticipated. My only complaint would be communication. He was very difficult to get in touch with at times despite many messages sent"

"They did a great job. They came early. They were prompt. They gave me a timeline. They got it done early. They ended up charging me less. It didn't cause any issues and mess inside. The price was reasonable."

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
