Customers say: True professional

"Greg has expertise in many areas, he "does it all!" As he told me "My work is my life! And I DO Care!!" No question he will give you his best in knowledge, experience, and creativity. And he works non-stop like an Energizer Bunny! He thinks about your projects after hours to find the best solution. My 200 year old house put him to the test! He replaced a rotted out door and entryway, resurfaced a floor, dry walled an area where a sky light had been removed, and reframed the area under a toilet that was caving in, painting along the way. And he is repairing my crumbling deck! Luckily he is a "frugal Yankee" and constantly looks for ways to save you money. And, as he says, he leaves your house cleaner and in better shape than when he arrived. Highly recommend!"

"Jack Powell is a gem. He's highly skilled, dependable, and a clear communicator. I had a large second floor deck that was badly sagging and in danger of collapsing. Jack examined the problem, came up with a strategy for repair, and submitted a very reasonable estimate. He clearly explained each stage of work and at the end of each day's work cleaned up the area. The deck now looks wonderful and the work was done on schedule and absolutely on budget. On top of it all, he's a nice guy -- soft spoken, warm, and personable. I recommend him without reservation for any carpentry job."

"Snelling and Sons Construction did an excellent job on my roof. They completed the project exactly within the time frame promised. The estimate and actual cost was the best of four construction firms I interviewed. They were very polite, hardworking and cleaned the entire area after completion."

"Cody and company worked for us in the fall of 2019 getting the exterior of our new (but very old) house in shape before winter. Cody was extremely thorough in preparing the house for painting, and in repairing both, some damaged siding we were aware of, and other areas of rot that were more extensive then we knew. There was a lot to finish as the colder weather set in, but it was clear that Cody wanted to do things the right way without cutting corners. We selected a bolder variation on the previous color scheme, and the finished project looks fantastic. Cody was respectful, easy to communicate with, and fair and transparent in his pricing. We plan to work with him again on other projects in our home, including interior painting, and we recommend him and his crew without reservation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
