"I highly recommend Mr. Sii Mafi and MB Construction. He is eager to help, he was quick to respond and his estimate for my short wall (and later an additional concrete pad as an additional project) was very reasonable. Just a day after submitting my project to home advisor, he contacted me and came out to review my project and give me an estimate. 2 days later he found an opening in his schedule and then completed my wall in two days. Wow! The wall was very clean, straight, and matched the wall it abutted to. I was so impressed with their work that when they suggested adding a concrete pad next to the wall to complete the area I easily agreed. This additional project was also quickly done, professionally made, and reasonable in price. They cleaned up all the construction materials and surrounding areas. Sii and his crew were very easy to talk with to get my project done. I highly recommend him and will keep his number in my call list should any of my friends need their services."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.
