"Working with Boyd and his team at Services Contracting was a pleasure. Boyd was highly communicative and was on site nearly every day of the project. He is straightforward, honest, and kind. We will actually miss getting to see him and his crew. Our project involved completely finishing our basement and included two bathrooms, a bedroom, and a kitchenette, all constructed to be handicapped accessible. Near the end of our project, the waterproofing that was provided by a different company failed (this was the responsibility of a different company) and the basement flooded, ruining much of the work Services Contracting had done. Still, Boyd worked patiently with us and the waterproofing company to redo the work. I cannot recommend Services Contracting enough. As long as we are in this area, I don't think we will ever even consider using another general contractor!"

"Ken was very knowledgeable about our problems.  We asked him about several issues; some needed fixing and some did not.  I respect his opinions.  Our major issue was a two story wall that was sagging because it was built between floor joists.  We had an extra joist and supports installed.  The workmen were courtious and effecient.  Our floor feels very stable now.

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, 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.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
