"Stop perusing contractors and just contact Adam immediately – he’s the one you want to build your fence or deck. We hired Adam to construct a privacy fence, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the final result. Adam was personable and easy going yet professional, and his crew was friendly and polite. He produced top-notch work, and he did so for the price he’d originally quoted -- there were no “gotcha” price increases that are unfortunately common among contractors. Most impressively, Adam and his crew finished the work on time, despite poor weather and issues with a supplier. He also took the challenges our slightly strange property presented in stride. We cannot recommend Adam Free Multi-Services enough, and we’ve already had initial discussions with him about other projects."

"I needed some help with dry rot around the windows in my 35 year old house. Most of those who responded to my online inquiry only wanted to sell new windows. At least one wanted to replace perfectly good double picture windows. Home Improvement Masters (HIM) was the first respond to my search inquiry that had a solution which did not require replacing windows that were perfectly good. When I received HIMâ s proposal I was a bit stunned at the level of thoroughness in the proposal and, frankly, the price. But the customer reviews I found were excellent and, after talking with the owner, I ultimately decided to go with HIM. I was not disappointed. Not only did HIM repair frames around most of my windows they found several other dry rot and maintenance issues and fixed them. HIMâ s workmanship was excellent. They were hard working, diligent, on time, and extremely neat. They listened to my needs and were very cooperative in making adjustments as the work proceeded. The bottom line for all the work saved me about 40% below the cost two other bids I received for window replacements only. Needless to say it was worth every penny I paid them. I fully expect to use HIM again and I would not hesitate to recommend HIM to anyone."

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
