"We hired Joe Lutz Construction to build a new two car garage from plans provided by a local architect. The build site was a challenging sloped lot and Joe provided photos and customer contacts of similar jobs he had done, demonstrating his skill and competence which gave us confidence. Joe presented a contract that was clear and professional listing materials and methods of construction with a payment timeline related to the completion of various stages of the build. He handled all of the permit inspections and kept the project on track. The quality of the work was excellent, and Joe's communication skills kept us informed and updated on all aspects of the project. We are very satisfied with the work Joe and his team did and highly recommend him for your next construction project."

"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."

"Joshua is great! I purchased the toilets at Home Depot and arranged for Joshua to pick them up. Well HD Lancaster location only had two of the HE toilets that I wanted, so the 3rd toilet was picked up in the HD Palmdale store. Joshua did all this with pleasure. He was on time, work was completed superbly and cleanup was on point. I will always call on Joshua for my Handyman needs..."

"Oh MY GOODNESS, this company and Ishmel and his team are AMAZING. They worked so hard for us and did anything we asked and worked until 5:30 a.m. because we did a move that was over 5 hours away, so they moved us out of one house, then drove 5 hours, then they moved us into another house, then they drove another 5 hours, this was a SUPER long day, almost 16 hours, WOW I have never seen 3 people work so hard and I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Pro Movers.....they are BEYOND PRO movers they are GO MOVERS, they just go for it and then do an incredible job. I dont even know if they ate during that whole time. We are SUPER SUPER SUPER appreciative of this amazing crew. Thank you PRO MOVERS, all I can say is you went ABOVE and BEYOND for us!!!

"The work done was very high quality at a reasonable price. Michae and his team are extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient. They ensure the job is done well and they do not cut corners. I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the work done on my home. If you are looking for a team to do a job for you that you can trust, I would HIGHLY recommend Michae and his team. I will be hiring them again in the future if I need more work done, without a second thought. It’s hard to find a team that you can trust to do excellent work. I am beyond fortunate that I found Michae and his team!"

Carpentry 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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
