"Joshua was prompt (exactly on time, which was fantastic). He put my mind at ease from the moment he arrived. Very quiet; just did his work and did it extremely well and professionally. I could not be happier with the job he did. I enthusiastically recommend him; my only concern is that I might make him too popular!!

"We had a great experience with Mejia's on a very complex fence project. Approx 140 feet of fencing, completely falling apart and surrounded by multiple issues (tree trunks, overgrowth, concrete, a hill side, etc.) They evaluated us quickly, the quote came in on target, they scheduled us immediately and stayed in communication with us every step of the way. The work only took a couple days and the cleanup they did on the job site had our land looking better than when they arrived. Best of all the fence turned out five-star-top-quality and ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. If you hire these guys for your project, rest assured you've made the right choice."

"Ask to work with Rafael, if you're in Seattle, he's a true professional. He takes pride in the relationship he builds with his customers and has a team that is meticulous and extremely fast. They came in and painted the exterior of my home and the quality of the team's service was nothing short of outstanding."

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
