"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."

"Alex was extremely helpful and came right away to fix our fence after the hurricane. We lost several slats and our gate needed completely replace while the other was ajar. I appreciate his responsiveness and understanding throughout the process (limited connectivity to respond, etc). Thank you for fixing it!"

"I recently hired Craig Haden to paint the trim on my home, as well as to touch up the interior before I sold the house. Craig's meticulous approach involved scraping, sanding, priming, and painting the trim. He also painted the soffits, which required him to remove and later reattach the gutters. During this process, he discovered some rotted wood behind the gutters and efficiently patched it before reattaching them. Craig took extra steps to ensure the new paint adhered properly by applying vinegar to the gutters. The interior touch-ups Craig performed made the house look brand new, significantly enhancing its appeal. Thanks to his excellent work, my house sold within a week of being put on the market. Throughout the project, Craig maintained a clean and organized work environment, ensuring there was never any mess for me to deal with at the end of the day. I am extremely pleased with Craig's hard work and dedication. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable handyman."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Wooden soffits, when properly cared for, can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the type of wood and the climate you live in. Certain wood types will last longer than others, and you might want to consider the cost of replacing soffits when you break down the total project cost. While an initially higher-priced material might seem counterintuitive, it can make more financial sense if you don’t plan on moving. 

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.
