"Bill and Kathy are a stellar construction team! I was selling an older home that needed so many repairs and remodeling! Bill went over every square inch of my home and gave suggestions on required repairs; repairs and remodels that would enable a higher price to sell and where I would not need to do improvements for selling. Bills integrity and honesty were apparent from the beginning of the job until he finished. I have referred him to many friends and every one of them is, not just pleased, but raving about finally finding a craftsman who puts his clients first. He has the skills to make an ugly duckling room look amazing! Would I hire him again? I already have my new home! I want it to be as beautiful as the one he helped me sell! I know that what he builds for me will last a lifetime...and, if not, he will stand behind his work and be back to fix it."

"ROOF4LIFE did an amazing job on our deck and fence projects. They provided ideas and suggestions that we hadn’t even considered, and delivered more than we expected. Projects were completed based on our time frame, and had all wrapped up before we expected. The carpenters they employ are outstanding, willing to listen to our needs, and over-delivered. I would not hesitate to call them for future projects."

"They have now done two separate jobs on different occasions. Jobs consisted of preparing a floor for carpeting after a animal had ruined the previous carpet and wood. Also fixed my front door which was a little crooked so it stuck. I then called them back for drywall work after I had redid my plumbing. Excellent, professional work for both jobs. Well priced. Went above and beyond. Was also very nice and great to talk to. All around great work that I recommend. And I know we will have other projects for this company."

"This company was recommended to me by a very neighbor who recently had a carport installed by Scott. We had them do a complete kitchen remodel and I am very pleased with the quality of work performed. The pricing was very fair and done in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
