"West Coast Carpenters did a great job on my cedar fence. Also put in a garage door and other miscellaneous tasks to complete a home remodel. Knew their craft, timely, neat, easy to work with and totally professional. I would hire them again for any kind of building project."

"I hired Ryan to do extensive work in our house. His team scraped and replaced popcorn ceilings in the whole house, remodeled a bathroom from the ground up, did some repair work in the attic and various and sundry small jobs. Not only was he there right on time and finished as scheduled, he excelled. I chose the floor for the bathroom and told him to choose the rest. He made a lovely elegant and practical bathroom and chose accessories and paint that brought out the colors in the floor and all complemented each other. It's truly beautiful and I am delighted with it! Everything looks absolutely wonderful. I would hire his team again in a heartbeat."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
