"Perfect. They did excellent work. Very professional and very clean as well. I don't think another carpenter could have done what needed to be done as well as Carlos did. I am extremely pleased."

"Ebenezer and his team are professional, courteous and experienced. it is refreshing to see when a company truly cares about their workmanship and total client satisfaction. He is a Master of his Craft and it shows. Throughout the process he made sure I was completely informed and ensured my high standards were met. I was very vocal about what I wanted and expected. They painted my entire home, Ceiling, Crown Moldings, Walls and Baseboards. All this work was done without a drop of paint on my brand-new floors or driveway. I mention this because the last So Called Painter I hired on my own, painted my walls and everything else he was not supposed to! Hire a Real Professional on Home Advisor. I highly recommend Ebenezer Faife Painting Services on HomeAdvisor!"

"I live out of state and had an investment property that i needed to sell.  Originally I called a couple of my contractor friends to quote/perform the jobs and they left me stranded.  I turned to Angie's list I found Sead here on Angie's list because of his #1 ranking and called him for a quote.  He responded immediately, arranged to quote the job the next day, visited the job site and gave me a fair quote and time frame to complete the job.  Once i was ready to commence, I called him during the Christmas Holidays and he managed to start work within a day or two of my call.  Upon inspection by the city, it was determined i needed additional work to get the home compliant to sell, I called Sead again and he was able to quote and commence the job immediately thereafter.  
Thanks to his professionalism, and quality of his work, the house passed certification and i was able to get it sold.  
Sead solved the problems i've been dreading for the last 10yrs.  Thank you for your professionalism and craftsmanship.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
