"Caleb did a fantastic job reworking our back porch. I don't know how much longer we would have been able to use the porch if he hadn't rebuilt the supporting structure underneath along with jacking it up to put the structure level. One corner had dropped about 5 inches and it felt like we were walking up and down hill when we moved around the porch. I would recommend Northbound to anyone looking for quality work to be done on their home."

"All the varied projects Barefoot Painting and Renovations did for us turned out great!! They did interior mudding and painting, removed old kitchen lighting and wiring and installed new more modern lighting, and stained some cabinets in the kitchen. They are very detail oriented and the work came out fantastic! We would definitely hire them again and plan too!"

"Bert has been wonderful since the start. He answers his phone and texts you back promptly. He shows up when he says he will which is amazing considering how hard it is for a contractor to respond to you or show up when they say they will. He did electrical work for my new pool installation and is going to do a couple other items for me as well since he can do wide variety of work. He also backs his work if you have any issues. Highly recommended! Iâ d give him 10 stars if I could."

"Bob is amazing. I was new to town and was lucky enough to find Bob on this service. He can literally build a house from the ground up if needed. I bought a bank owned property and it was trashed by former owners. Bob came in, gave a fair assessment and provided excellent professional work on time and in line with his estimate. He always provided recipes for items purchased on my behalf. In addition, he always gives you many options in terms of saving money or going higher end. Depends on what you want to do with the property. He painted inside and out and it came out great. He redid both bathrooms from full demo to completed product and it came out great. Having a contractor you can trust and not have to chase down is his biggest asset. He just gets it done, it’s done on time and it’s fantastic quality and price."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
