"We are really happy with what Paul and his crew did for us. We started with a plan and began searching for contractors. We were almost settled on a contractor who was going to do most of what we wanted, but insisted that raising our kitchen ceiling would be cost prohibitive. We then decided to get more opinions. I found Paul here on Angieslist and he came out. He was up in the attic for about 10 minutes and then reported that there is no reason why the ceiling couldn't be raised for a reasonable cost. After discussing this for quite some time, I hired an engineer to validate what Paul proposed and draw up the engineering plans for the project. Once that cleared we hired Paul and began the project. Paul totally worked with us. We wanted a hybrid approach where we had tons of involvement but he managed the project. I still can't believe how smooth it all went. There really weren't any big surprises and Paul was not only a great contractor but he also became a good advisor and in couple cases advised against some of the ideas we had and provided good reasons why which we never would have thought of until it was too late. Overall, the project consisted of a complete tear down and remodel of the kitchen, including the ceiling lift. He also helped with our fireplace, HVAC and a few other things throughout the house. We now feel like we have a very custom model home. I hope we don't have to run another project like this, but if we do, we'll be calling Paul to run it. Thanks Paul."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.

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.
