"Byron is knowledgeable . He had several helpful suggestions. He and his team are fast, efficient, and good. They had our deck torn apart, repaired, and painted in one day! Because the paint was so wet when they left, they came back the next day to see if it needed any touch ups. They did exactly what we wanted done. They also cleaned up and hauled off all the old stuff."

"Zach repaired and resurfaced the drywall on our ceilings as well as some needed carpentry work. He communicates promptly, is incredibly neat and his work is superb. He has many years of experience and it shows in his work. Zach is a super nice guy and checks all the boxes for what you hope for when hiring someone to work on your home. I highly recommend and will call on him again for any future projects."

"Shaun was absolutely amazing! We originally hired him to repair some tile, and we were so impressed with the quality of his work, attention to detail, and professionalism that we ended up asking him to replace our floors as well. He was dependable, knowledgeable, and took pride in making sure everything looked great. It’s not always easy to find someone you trust with projects in your home, and Shaun exceeded our expectations. We are extremely happy with the results and would definitely hire him again. Highly recommend Shaun for tile and flooring work!"

"Chris was absolutely great to work with. Very professional. Very flexible. He listened to our concerns about the millwork revisions that were required to accommodate the installation of a new range in our kitchen. Probably the best experience I've ever had working with a handyman/contractor. We have thoughts about other renovation work at the house, and we will definitely reach out to Meridian Property Solutions again when its time to consider that work. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris this company to anyone needing services of a handyman/contractor."

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, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
