"These guys got the work done in a single long day, which was impressive. It was well done and the owner was very responsive. Really appreciated having a pro for playground equipment install that was a Class A contractor with all the insurance and licenses I was looking for."

"It was clear and evident that Fred was experienced and knowledgable when he came to my home to discuss what I wanted and gave me a reasonable estimate. Upon signing a contract, Justin and Mike were tasked with the build out. They were on site at the times they said they would be, extremely personable and educated within their field of work. They were also extremely hospitable in allowing me to watch them show their expertise as a learning experience. I would most certainly hire Fred and his crew again and highly recommend!"

"The work was excellent, and Alex was very personable. He explained everything he planned to do. He showed up when scheduled, and communicated everything. He also took the time to research what paint/stain would be best, and waited for the best time to apply it. He was quick and efficient, and the job came out perfectly, and exceeded our original expectations. We plan to have him back in the spring to do some house trim repair. If you need a handyman, hire Alex. You won't be disappointed."

"Amazing! Dickens is the ultimate professional and craftsman. He was great in communicating the details of the job, gave a reasonable time-line (he completed even sooner by a day), was reasonably priced, took into account my taste and gave excellent suggestions. As for his work, it was impeccable. He built a beautiful brick wall surrounding and above my fireplace and added an oak mantle. It was even better than I expected or imagined. I will be hiring again to paint and perform complete other projects."

"Phenomenal! I had some idea of what we needed in painting and remodeling for part of our project, and then I had NO idea for the rest... I found a partner to help define it fully in Construction Systems of Virginia. Normally I do not leave reviews, but this company gave us exactly what we needed in the timeline we needed it. I wish I'd known about them sooner - would have saved me time looking for the right provider. They are Responsive, Professional, Precise in their work, Flexible in accommodating our schedule and changes we made throughout the project, and they provide World-Class Customer Service. Thank You to our incredible crew ~ you made our home beautiful!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We had a great experience with United Capital. Our project was to move our powder room from one area of house to another area of house which included building net new plumbing, drain lines, relocating existing plumbing and more. They did a fabulous job with the work and we couldn't have been happier with the way powder room was relocated."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
