"Master MCG was unable to do the job until April .However, Master MCG did me a huge favor when I asked if he could please refer me to another carpenter. He referred me to Jesse Miranda of Artistic Wood, LLC who was able to take on the job immediately, and he brought in a second carpenter (Joe Yost) and they did an excellent job, for a reasonable price. Jesse was also very good at finding solutions and tweaking things to work/fit, etc. I would hire both Master MCG and Jesse (and Joe) again."

"Matt does excellent work, is a true professional and an overall great guy! I'm a contractor and have worked with many carpenters and cabinet installers over the years. I can say working with Matt is a pleasure and the quality of his work is meticulous. Some of the cabinets I received for this project were the wrong size. Matt was very flexible and went the extra mile to finish the install as soon as the correct cabinets were delivered. He also installed wainscoting for me in a difficult bathroom and the finished product was fantastic. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for high quality finish carpentry work."

"We recently had Irrigation Nation help us overhaul our retaining walls in the backyard. I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism shown by Brandon and the entire crew Jose, Jesus, & Rogelio. The communication was clear and constant throughout the process with the team showing up when they said and on time. They treated our house like it was their own with great care to minimize the impact during the construction. First-rate work with a lot of thought going into the build to ensure both form and function that will last for decades. I would not hesitate to work with Irrigation Nation in the future and would highly recommend them if you are in need of any retaining wall and/or landscape work."

"Gio and his team were phenomenal. Not only did he knock out the framing in a good window of time but he went above and beyond to recommend contractors for the following work I needed. Gio was involved in every step of the process and was there while we got inspection done for permits and worked with the inspectors even providing explanation where my knowledge couldn't. Having Gio easily saved 3-4 weeks on hiring other contractors, permits & inspection. And overall project deadlines. This team is a master in the work they provide and overall care they give to your home"

"I first hired Daniel and his team to scrape my front yard to get it ready for spring planting, and to plant four new trees. They did such a good job, I was thrilled to hire them right away to build a new retaining wall in my 100-year old house basement. They worked within the timeframe I needed them to, as I also was working with another company to replace my furnace. The wall came out better than I could have imagined! When I had some leakage problems with my sprinkler system, they came and worked on that, as well as replaced an old valve. They went above and beyond on my multiple projects. Daniel and his team are pros! I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services again! Thank you D&D!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
