"They were all polite worked together like a well oiled machine. I was amazed at how much they paid attention to detail and what a fantastic paint job they did. I had a couple of accent colors and my house looks picture perfect! I was also amazed how they cleaned up they vacuumed and mopped all the areas, I would definitely give them the highest mark and would be proud to recommend they to anyone."

"I had two bathroom remodels (both bathrooms totally gutted) and Vance completed the work in under 6 weeks. It would have actually been done even sooner but had to wait for shower tile backorder. He and his workers showed up EVERY day on time and worked 10-11 hour days as they knew the work was disruptive when you are still living in the home. Vance helped me pick the tile and even went to pick up my freestanding tub rather than wait on delivery schedules. I am not easily pleased (I'm Italian!) and it was such a smooth remodel and the bathrooms look exquisite. He is extremely fussy as am I and I actually raved about him so much in my office that an attorney is now using him for a bathroom remodel. The attorney even remarked Vance was there ten minutes prior to appointment which in Florida you hear nightmare stories of companies/workers not showing up for weeks. He is a man of his word and said I'd have two bathrooms in 4-6 weeks, which I did, even during a pandemic!! All his workers were equally as professional, and NEAT which is critical as you're already being displaced so it was an added plus they were so conscientious about where they stored items/tools! Highly recommend!!!!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
