"Jason is the best - I couldn't have asked for a better experience. His tile guy Brian is amazing - a true professional and perfectionist. We also used his plumber David who didn't quit until he got everything working perfectly. Everyone showed up on time as scheduled and they all cared about their work which is pretty hard to find. My daughter just used a horrible contractor that she had to fire - I felt guilty telling her about our great experience!!"

"Job was completed per request. After we pointed out our concerns, they worked with us to completion. It took slightly longer to complete, but it was well worth the wait. Many other contractors would probably walk and not address any concerns, but BeHome finished. I would strongly recommend BeHome to do your job. They are professional and friendly."

"Arroyo Brothers are experts in every phase of the construction process. They can act as general contractors or specialized craftsmen. We have enjoyed their expertise for 20+ years. They completed a major exterior remodel for us, including cedar shingle siding, construction of 2 new decks, a new roof, and a portico addition. They also completed major interior remodeling including a complete kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, and bedroom addition. They have remodeled our yard, including the construction of a magnificent flagstone firepit. They have worked with our interior designer to ensure impeccable results. The quality of their work is extraordinary. They are dependable, conscientious and efficient. Once you hire Arroyo Brothers, you will never hire anyone else!"

"From the beginning Ryan was straight forward, honest, had a clear timeline and met all my expectations. As a contractor I'm always nervous when I hire someone else to do work for me. There is always the chance that their workmanship will be poor, they will excessively markup material, fall behind on schedule, disappear after receiving majority of payment and leave the project unfinished. All I have to say about Lovejoy construction is this, his workmanship was exceptional, his prices are fair, he completed our project on time, and had a fair and clear payment schedule. When I have another project I will be calling Lovejoy construction for work."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
