"This was Mr. Raff's second job with us. The result is wonderful. The ceiling in our carport began to split open and hang down. Mr. Raff said it was from humidity and an indoor product being used outdoors 40 years ago. He determined how to repair the ceiling and his crew spent two days covering the old ceiling, framing the wood with lathe and caulking every seam then painting with two coats of paint. This also involved a ceiling light. The crew cleaned up everything and the carport looks great. Thank you all!!!"

"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."

"Mr. KP is great at what he does and he does it with kindness and passion. The service is always exceptional.This is the second project he has done for me. He installed a patio extension for me about eight years ago and I am still enjoying it.This time I needed a driveway extension and I'm so glad I kept his number. His quote was the most reasonable and cost effective. He also went above and beyond by covering an existing area of my yard with dirt that was left damaged by a previous plumbing job. He also gave a solution for an area of my yard that was a fall hazard for my mother and didn't charge me for the extra duties. He and his team took pride and care in completing the driveway project and I am excited to once again be enjoying the finished project. I will definitely use Veza Properties for future projects."

"ZB, from L&Z Enterprises was our pro. The job was attaching a new bed frame to a headboard. The hardware that came with the headboard was not adequate, so our pro fabricated a bracket that would work. We are very satisfied and will not hesitate to call on him in the future, highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces.
