"Outstanding guy… Professional, always on time and the work was beautiful. Painting, electrical, installation. Lucas did a lot of work in my home, left the place spotless and I couldn’t be more happier with the quality of the work. I’d hire this guy any day, I highly recommend him, you won’t be disappointed. Images to follow."

"Iâ m overjoyed with my completely new kitchen! Outstanding communication, excellent construction and electrical work. Scheduling of work was timely. Workers were very knowledgeable, exact and accommodating as needed for such a large project (wall removed, and I canâ t see where it was at the ceiling or floorâ ¦amazing). Hall flooring had to be filled inâ ¦beautiful workmanship. Lighting is the â cherry on top.â Love, love, love it!"

"Excellent service and high quality workmanship by Rick. He torn down my collapsed garage ceiling and replaced the drywall using screws tape mud to fill and 1/2 drywall. 5/8 if you request. Sanded and painted. What a difference! Easy to work with and his estimates are fair and highly competitive."

Customers say: Super punctual

"SOD WAS LAYED QUICKLY. WORKERS MOSTLY SPOKE SPANISH SO SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE, HOWEVER, THEY WORKED TIRELESSLY UNTIL THEY WERE DONE. WHEN INSTALLING THE PLANTS, THEY WERE NOT AS GOOD AT THIS, NOT THEIR FORTE. THEY COMPLAINED A LOT ABOUT HOW HARD IT WAS TO DO THE PLANTINGS. DURING BOTH JOBS THEY DRANK BEER DURING THEIR BREAKS AND LEFT THE BEER BOTTLES IN OUR BACK YARD OR IN THE NEIGHBORS."

A well-versed country-raised handyman with a keen mind and a strong body. I'm a skilled carpenter, good at repairs, and experienced in furniture assembly.\n\nI learned carpentry, welding, and various other skills from my father, Louville "Bill" Kimball, one of the top skilled tradesmen in the state of Florida. With his passing a few years ago, I endeavor to carry on the legacy he left me and provide skilled service to the community

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. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.
