"I interviewed and got estimates from approximately 15 contractors when we needed help with a basement renovation that involved everything from demolition, haul-away, framing, and drywall. John was above and beyond the best person who reviewed the job and while we initially hired him for the demolition we've stuck with him for every aspect of the basement renovation because he and his apprentice are spectacular. They're straight forward, reliable, flexible, efficient, communicative, and meticulous with the quality and cleanliness of the work. We'll hire John over and over again for all our renovation needs!"

"I have hired these guys to come back and do more work at my home. They are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Phone calls or texts to Matt were answered in a very timely manor which I appreciated very much. Matt is local and is experienced with Vermont old homes. Repairs are complete and the cost is very reasonable. I have already recommended him to my family and friends. Thanks to Emilio and Trevor for great on-site work. You both are competent, considerate, and keep a clean safe work zone. Iâ m very happy with the job well done."

"Working with Kyle and this company was fantastic! Absolute professionals. I’ve had bad experiences with other major construction companies in the Champlain valley -including one company that didn’t finish the job and just left one day and never came back. CVB were great. The amount of communication was awesome. Never had to wonder what was coming up or what was going on. From estimate to execution, the whole process was amazing and my new deck looks awesome! Give them a call. Trust me!"

"Jason completed the basement remodel project for $18.375. He fixed the main beam and reinforced the basement ceiling with well-placed studs and blocking. He enclosed the interior walls with sheetrock and put insulation above the ceiling. I am very happy with the work that was done and highly recommend this man. You will not find a more honest contractor. He goes out of his way to make sure that you understand everything about the project. You will definitely think of Jason as a good friend who has your back."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
