"I had a very pleasant experience working with GR General Contracting. They were very professional and timely with their work. I had tried to get this work done with another contractor for months with no work, but after calling GR General Contracting they can out to see the site last week and started the work shortly afterwards. Definitely would use them again with future renovation projects."

"For starters this guy (Len) and his crew did an outstanding job. I am really picky and not exactly easy to work for - I will admit. I don't mind paying a fair price but I expect the work to be excellent, not just good, but excellent. Nothing worse than lousy worksmanship.
This painter exceeded my expectations. I wanted my ceilings painted white and the walls a different color, plus I have crown molding to deal with and I needed the lines to be perfect - they were. I just can't say enough on how happy I am with the work. It feels like I am in a new home. I don't think I will ever look for other bids when I need painting after this experience.
The price was very competitive as well, plus  he honored a discount for me looking him up on Angies List. Other bids came in higher and the contractors were not nearly as responsive as Len. He came to my house promply to a**** and provide a bid. I found him to be very patient and very polite. He was very helpful with suggestions with color and type of paint. When it came time for the work he was on time and finished on time. My house was spotless when he was done. Prior to payment he wanted to make sure I was happy with the work, if not he would make it right.
I rarely have an experience this pleasant when dealing with contractors. If I could provide an A+ rating I would. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top quality painter. I strongly doubt you will be disappointed with Len and his crew.
I will be needing more work done and will not hesitate to have him do the work.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
