"Phenomenal craftsmanship. Very reasonable quote and on time every day. Built a new porch to code! I am very impressed with the porch that was built. Mr. Bilder did a complete rebuild. It looks fantastic and I would hire him again. Highly recommended. He will explain everything in detail and will answer all of your questions AND he will keep you updated as the project progresses. I am VERY happy with Mr. Bilder! It took much less time to complete than I was anticipating. I will hire him in the spring for some additional work I need done."

"We highly recommend Bayshore Construction, LLC. We had a large remodel project that encompassed both interior and exterior major changes to our home. During our project, they moved walls, relocated a kitchen, built a new first floor master bedroom and bathroom, created a new laundry room/powder room, built several closets, replaced windows, fixed damaged siding, and provided highly valuable creative solutions to our design questions. While Bayshore Construction commonly is the general contractor on a job, we wanted to be our own general contractor. Bayshore worked with us on this. They gave us a complete list of recommended subcontractors and worked on a time and material basis. In particular, we really valued Paulâ s suggestions for design, fixing leaking window flashings from improper construction and suggestions for product suppliers for cabinets, counters, glass shower doors and cabinet hardware. For example, Paul suggested that we contacted Wickâ s floors to see if they could match our existing floor, and despite having a unique wide plank ash floor, they were able to match the floor. Paul is a Master Carpenter. We love the custom wood stove hood he designed and built! We are thrilled that Bayshore Construction could recreate the custom maple wood work to match the wood trim that previously existed in our home. Bayshore Construction provided excellent service, excellent quality of work, and excellent customer support to us. They are an excellent team to call if you need remodeling of your home."

Woodworking 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.

Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.

The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.

It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.

Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.

There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.

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.
