"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."

"If I could give this team 10 stars, I would. I hired them to build a custom headboard from a picture I provided. From start to finish, the customer service has been a dream. This team is thorough, precise, consultative, creative and incredibly pleasant to work with. My husband mapped out the measurement specs for the headboard including a space at the bottom where we could feed our electrical wires. Although it was a bit of an unusual request (definitely more function vs form), the team nailed it. I couldnâ  t be more happy with the finished product. Thank you!!!!"

"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

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
