"I was impressed with this construction company from the beginning through the end of the project. The owner, Jason, was very professional. He quickly got us a fair quote, adjusted to a few change requests without any issue and the crew was not only nice, but did an excellent job on the siding, soffit and facia for our shop. The whole process was a lot faster and less painful than previous experiences that we’ve had with contractors. They were even out working during the rare Pensacola snow day— Highly recommend this team!"

"I am at loss for words to express my to Mr. Freeman (Kurt) and his team (McKenzie and Carlos) for a job well They corrected a problem with a sagging soffit without having to replace it, saving me money. In addition, they took on the task of correcting an existing project that someone else had started and never completed, the correct assembly of a wall mounted gazebo. Kurt's knowledge, experience, and problem solving abilities led the way for completing both tasks quickly, correctly and cost effectively. I highly recommend FreemanMade for your home improvement projects."

"Outstanding! Josh and his professional crew built a 12x22 deck on a sloping back yard. The deck turned out better than expected. On the fly Josh had an idea to improve the look, he consulted with me and I agreed. Josh has a great vision of what the customer is looking for and is very meticulous in bringing that vision to reality. I would highly recommend Total Revision, and I will use them again for future projects. Great job guys! Brian"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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. 

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

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.
