Small jobs welcome

"INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS are top notch professionals. We used them to build us a very large 2nd level deck. Brent and crew (Johnny & Eric) were efficient and punctualâ ¦plus just really nice guys! They had to work in some nasty weather (about 10 inches of snow & COLD). At the end of each day they cleaned up their work area, keeping in mind my senior dog that needed to get out the patio door! The deck exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful, safe & sturdy. Brentâ  s pricing is fair â  a definite value for the money. He is licensed in Iowa & Nebraska. Diligent about pulling all the necessary permits. I would not hesitate to use them for ANY construction needs. A great locally owned company"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.
