"We were so impressed with the job that Ken did installing wainscoting in our home ! He has such a fine eye for detail and design and is very particular for the quality of workmanship he does. We were also very pleased with Ken communicating to us when he would be arriving and the time needed to complete the project. If you’re looking for outstanding workmanship, reasonable price, helpful suggestions and reliable service, then hire K2 Carpentry - you will be impressed and very pleased with the outcome. We Will definitely recommend Ken to family & friends!!"

"Victor has done an absolutely amazing job on my ball and stick corner chair. It’s from late 1800’s and to say I’m extremely happy about how it turned out would be an understatement! Thank you Victor and Family Furniture antiques in winter park Florida for restoring this piece. It’s an absolute treasure"

"Judith and Hastings were delightful. They showed up early, asked my needs and went right to work and did a great job hanging a dozen or so paintings. They’re coming back to build a wide wooden shelf in my living room. Their pricing is fair, I recommend them highly to anyone looking for handyman services."

"Travis is my answer to my shrub trimming. He came on time and did an excellent job of trimming all our shrubs and cleaned up after. He also expanded our mulch area which had become overgrown."

"Prism Carpentry is the absolute best! Had my old back splash removed and new tile installed. Also, had two doorway thresholds wrapped in wood with korbels added. Prism Carpentry was professional, respectful to my home, and the work was absolutely stunning. This was not the first project done by Prism in my home. Main bathroom mirror removed with shiplap installed, separate mirrors hung and farmhouse lighting installed. Wainscotting was also installed in main bedroom. I can't say enough about this company. If you need a project done and want quality craftsmanship, call Prism!"

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.
