He completed the task within a few hours, and ensured that it was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Start to Finish Home Improvements, Inc. for all carpentry projects."

"Turner Home was fantastic! They replaced original standard cabinets with custom built cherry wood cabinets, soft slide Out shelving, a two tiered lazy susan, slide out garbage can holder, toe kick drawers, and under cabinet lighting! This was done as part of the overall kitchen remodel which was also managed by Turner Home. Allen was easy to work with, minimized the amount of time we were without kitchen access and made sure every cabinet was perfectly installed. We are extremely happy with the end result. Towards the end of this project Turner Home also restored a 1930s phonograph with a crank handle that belongs to my mother. Allen did a wonderful job of maintaining the original look while replacing damaged wood. The working phonograph is now a center piece in moms home!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
