"What a great experience. Jason was right on time, did a wonderful job and there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere when he finished. The cabinets installed in our laundry room look like they've always been there. We plan to call him again soon to take care of a few more jobs in and around our home. You won't be sorry if you contact him. He has a vast knowledge of home improvement, both inside and outside."

"Josh (owner) and his crews were great to work with. I work out of town and only home every 6-8 weeks so I needed a contractor I could trust and rely on, Josh and his team came though. Everyone from the office staff to the crew member on site were great to work with, this is how it s supposed to be done. They kept my wife advised of the work schedule, showed up when they said and cleaned up every day. THANKS to all of you at Bauer home services"

"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."

Thank you for your interest in allowing me to give a helping hand. My name is Shaun Flood. I am a full time firefighter who enjoys working around the house and tackling home improvement projects. I am self motivated and thoroughly enjoy helping and working with my hands. I found I had a passion for learning and figuring out home projects after becoming a homeowner myself. Home projects can feel daunting and stressful. Allow me the opportunity to put those stresses to rest and complete those projects that have kept you up at night.

Woodworking 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.

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. 

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.
