"The owner came out himself and was able to provide a quote for the work to be done. I was extremely grateful that he actually did a temporary patch on the hole in my rood at no charge until I decided what I was going to do. THANK YOU for doing that and for coming out so fast!"

"Highly Recommend Luis! Luis recently completed a full deck restoration project for us, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He worked both independently and with a helper at times, and his attention to detail was outstanding throughout the entire process. He replaced damaged boards, thoroughly sanded, and beautifully stained both our deck and the screened‑in porch below it. He even went above and beyond by taking care of our arbor as well, which was such a nice surprise. We did need to clarify a few small details along the way (like screws vs. nails), but Luis was always patient, professional, and easy to work with. Nothing was ever a problem. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of his work and would highly recommend Luis for any project you have in mind. We’ll definitely be using him again."

JB Home Services provides reliable property maintenance, storm preparation, and condition assessments to help homeowners and real estate professionals protect and present their properties at a high standard. As an owner-operated business, I focus on identifying problems early—such as hazardous trees, neglected yard conditions, or small maintenance issues—before they turn into costly damage or missed opportunities. While I don’t perform large-scale removals, I help spot risks, coordinate solutions, and handle the day-to-day work that keeps a property clean, safe, and show-ready. I also work with real estate listings, keeping properties consistently maintained instead of waiting until the last minute. From basic repairs and cleanup to ongoing upkeep, I help ensure homes make a strong first impression—whether online or from the street. My goal is simple: keep properties in good condition, reduce preventable issues, and make sure they’re always ready when it matters.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
