"A beam holding my carport was badly weathered and had cracks. It was also installed many years ago so that the gutter was spilling water on the driveway. The guys came in, replaced the beam and added more new gutter beyond the carport. Very easy to work with, friendly, and did an excellent job!"

"We are huge fans of Evergreen. We hired them to take on demo, floor installation, cabinet assembly, finish-carpentry, and wall paneling in our kitchen, and we are thrilled with the results. Eduardo is an incredibly talented craftsman who manages to balance speed, quality, and value. Throughout the entire process (from onsite inspection, quote, scheduling, and build), we felt in the loop and cared for by he and Isabel. This engagement marks the first formal contractor we've hired, and we were nervous going into things, with all the horror stories you hear. We experienced none of these horrors, and were blown away with the quality and speed of work, and the attention to detail. The team was prompt, courteous, thoughtful, and thorough throughout our engagement, and they were exceedingly understanding and flexible with us and our scheduling needs (as we needed to delay some final days due to delays on materials). We're thrilled with the final product, and Evergreen will be our first call for the next project we tackle. Thanks again, Eduardo and Isabel, for your amazing service!"

"Oscar provided quick and quality work. However, I was disappointed to have been charged for the cost of a full window frame replacement when the final job required only replacement of a single window pane."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Jack and his crew are incredibly nice, knowledgeable, skilled, and easy to work with. They did a fantastic job, and were so respectful of our home! I hardly knew they were here half the time, they were so low-key. We had them do the baseboards and outer door frames on our living, dining, and hallway areas. We'd refinished the wood floors over the summer, and hadn't gotten around to painting and installing the new trim, and finally just realized we didn't want to do it ourselves, and hired it out. They completed the work yesterday, which was well in line with our agreements, and it turned out beautifully! I just walked down the hall, and said internally, "Wow, this looks so great." ? My partner said the same thing when he got home and inspected it. We're both impressed and pleased with it, and Isaac's attention to detail, and willingness to be super diligent for me, were highly valuable! We are already planning to hire them again, to do the trim in the kitchen, and replace a window in the garage that is broken. I highly recommend Jack, Isaac, and Josh."

"I don't write reviews, but this family business deserves recognition for their high quality workmanship. I've seen lots of work done over the years. It's very rare that I know the work was done right. This work was done right. It looks beautiful, will last and is something my wife and I can be proud of without me having had to lift a tool."

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

The cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.
