I have been working for my grandfather who builds custom homes and I have just started my own LLC and trying to get things going. I have my Alabama Home Builders License. I can do anything from small jobs like decks or replacing doors/ windows to big jobs like remodeling houses or building them from the ground up.

"Prime Management is very professional contractor in Helena. Made sure site was cleared each day. Had some changes at last minute and they rolled right along with no issues. Would recommend this company for future work."

"We are extremely pleased with Javier and his crew. The rental property we needed work done on is 1 1/2 hrs from where we live. Javier was very accommodating: he met me at my convenience to enter the property, to assess the work that needed to be done, and provided an estimate before the end of the day. He was ready to start the job immediately, and despite heavy rains that week, the entire job—every room in a 2-story, 2BR, 1 1/2BA townhouse, was done within 3 days—which was was earlier than he quoted. He even provided all he receipts for the supplies he purchased and provided a clearly-written invoice at the time of payment. He has shown the most integrity of any contractor I’ve personally ever worked with. I was in no way paid nor promised anything for my favorable review, but it is well earned. We will gladly hire Javier again when we need other work done."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, 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, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
