"I couldn't be happier with the work Golden Hammer Remodels did on my front entryway. My storm door had been ripped off, causing damage to the framing around the front door. The damaged framing was repaired, everything was repainted, and my front door looks like new again. The professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of workmanship were outstanding from start to finish. The work was completed with great care, everything was cleaned up afterward, and the results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Golden Hammer Remodels to anyone looking for top-notch home repairs. Thank you for a job well done!"

"Luis and his crew were awesome. They sent me progress photos throughout the day as they worked, and they let me know when they found stuff that previous installations had gone wrong with. They were super up front with labor and material costs, and they made sure that I was happy with the install work at each phase. The house looks amazing, and I am confident that we fixed the issues that were underneath the old siding. I cannot recommend them enough, give them a call. You won't be disappointed!"

Carpentry FAQs, 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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
