"Very reliable...did what we expected & in the time frame. We are pleased with their work. We just moved to this area and did not know any trade people in this area and so glad to meet. I was concerned because of the company's name I.e, "Carpentry" but was not an issue after we saw their work. Will considered Nunes Carpentry for other jobs."

"Cody did an excellent job. He was very professional and attentive to our needs. Communication was excellent in.every aspect, quoting, following up and answering all of our questions. He was flexible and reliable on scheduling our project. It was a complicated project involving talking with out of state vendors on our custom built cabinets. His work was meticulous in every detail. I would highly recommend him for your carpentry projects."

"Contacted Brandon at Ft. Myers Hurricane Shutter Repair on the advice of one of the larger shutter manufacturers in Florida to remove accordion shutters for paver install on lanai/pool deck/patio. 32 foot run with changing heights, 2 angles, changed from surface base track to recessed "trench track". They removed all the shutters and the support structures that would be in the way of the paver project, stored everything offsite, then two months later returned, cut everything to new dimensions on site, and completed a large, complicated installation in one day. Beyond impressed, cant say enough about the great job Brandon and his team did,or the great outcome. Our Lanai/pool/patio is spectacular. I thought that, for the amount of work that was required, the price was very reasonable."

"Lester and his crew are great! We asked him to build closets in a new construction home (office, hall closet, two bath linen closets) and he did great work. Super sturdy and they look great! The quality is just as nice or even nicer than what you would get from Easy Closets and he installs them so you don't have to do the work! He cut baseboards and caulked up against the new closets - very professional. We're proceeding to have him build walk-in pantry shelving and 4 bedroom closets. He's a hidden gem in Naples and the price is VERY competitive. Support the local guys!"

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
