"Great company! We had a bathroom remodel done to our master bathroom. Mack and his crew were phenomenal with the remodel. Great quality carpentry work along with great tile work. We converted our garden tub and shower to a walk in shower. They pay great attention to detail also. The price we were quoted was what we paid. Again, great company. We will definitely be using them in the future. Contact them directly +1 (706) 715-0439 - Juri"

"Brothers Pro Painters are without a doubt the best painter I have ever hired. They are totally professional, on time and as perfect an exterior painting company I have ever dealt with. I have looked for issues and problems without finding any. If there was an issue during the job it was corrected immediately. I’m 69 years old and never dealt with a better group of people. If ever I need any painting done they will get a call from me. And to add to their expertise they are great finished carpenters as well."

"Andy came and was very pleasant. He seemed to really want the job but was slow to want to start. He cancelled doing one of our jobs twice and them came out to perform it on a day that was pouring rain! That was not necessary but after cancelling twice , think he felt he must do it them. Never gave me a written quote but did give verbal on 2 of the items. First item was performed in the rain and seems to be okay. I have not seen a problem with it. I was also given a verbal quote on the 2nd job to begin in a few days. Received call from Andy stating that he had some health issues and would not be available for a few months. Adding additional comments about this pro added March 13,2017. The quality of the work that Andy was able to perform appears to be very good. I would hire Andy again for future jobs when he is available. I would recommend that Andy provide written quotes where possible."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.
