"Chris, and his tile and plumber subs, did an amazing job on the remodel of our two condo bathrooms and their estimate was very competitive too. As seniors, we have hired many contractors and Casali Remodeling is the best, by far! Their communication was excellent, and Chris was always involved in making sure things were going well. When we wanted minor changes, they were very accommodating, making the changes when possible or explaining why something couldn't or shouldn't be done."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Property Trio for custom built-in cabinets in our living room, office and bedroom, and we couldn't be happier! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Property Trio listened carefully to our vision, even our crazy ideas and truly brought it to life. The cabinets are not only beautiful but also provide all the storage we needed, perfectly combining functionality with style. They transformed our spaces and exceeded our expectations! The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident in every inch of the work. If you're looking for a contractor who can turn your ideas into reality, I highly recommend Property Trio. We are thrilled with the results!"

"Bargewell Construction just finished a complete bathroom remodel for me. I only have one bathroom, but he worked with me so I wouldn't be without the commode. I am a Paraplegic and he was very sensitive to my needs. I couldn't be more pleased. Michael Bargewell did a wonderful job. Very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. Rose G Mount Vernon WA"

Unfinished 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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
