"Rod did such a great job on our fence! He came out as soon as possible to get everything done between some bad weather days. It needed a second coat after, and he kept in touch with us for days the weather would participate and we were both available. The fence looks wonderful! We highly recommend."

"Jason did an amazing job painting my entire house! It looks absolutely incredible. He got the exact colors I wanted for every room, paid great attention to detail, and didn?t get a single drop of paint on my floors. He was professional, did an excellent job, and I couldn?t be happier with how everything turned out. I would definitely hire him again and will be recommending him to everyone I know. I highly recommend Jason for any painting job! ?????"

"Marvin with M.O. Holt Construction did an amazing job on William’s man cave. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. He was professional, dependable, and took real pride in his work. The finished room looks fantastic. I highly recommend M.O. Holt Construction and will be hiring Marvin again for more projects."

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.
