"I just moved a week ago and the movers I hired damaged my bed frame significantly. I found Tony through Angi. He showed up on time and fixed my bed frame in under an hour. Exceptional work....very professional and friendly. I would definitely use his services again and would recommend him to friends or strangers."

"My contractor was great and very knowledgeable. I was in the beginning stages of a kitchen remodel and wasn?t sure exactly what my limitations for the space would be. He came and gave me an estimate for the paint and helped me map out the layout of other changes such as cabinetry and put me in contact with someone for my specific flooring needs. By the end it really turned my kitchen into a functional space with a brighter layout. It was a reassuring process, very quick and detailed. He was realistic with all expectations and I would definitely use them again."

"Mr. LaRue Martin of Martin and Son Contracting is the person I will call for any home needs in the future. I highly recommend this gentleman. He was professional, prompt, and pleasant. He communicated with me via text, email, and phone and sent a quote in a timely manner. He had me send photos of the existing fixture and the new one, so that he would know in advance what to expect from the project. I appreciated that. When I have work done in my home, I like to watch it in progress. I asked to watch while he worked, and he encouraged me to do so. The work is impeccable. I can comfortably say that I trust this man with my home repairs and installation. Highly, highly recommend."

"Eric just stained and applied sealant to my deck and porch after pressure washing them and they look great. Eric has a good eye for color and was very helpful in picking out stain colors. His years of experience show! He communicates well and no very thorough on the job - even checking in a week after the job to make sure there are no problems. From the work he's done for me, I won't hesitate to use him to do the same job on the entire house!"

Carpentry questions, 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.

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. 

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
