"This is a small local business and they did a wonderful job on the deck. Very professional and explained everything they were going to do before hand and answered all my questions. Have already requested quotes for other projects I need done. Made sure to clean up as the went and even fixed a gate that needed repaired at no cost. Will hire again"

"My home has been in need of siding being replaced in a few spots, a gutter being repaired and replaced and trim replaced on an outside door. Jerry and his son were timely, polite, and professional. They worked diligently and are reasonably priced. Came out on a weekend to do a quote and worked part of Labor Day. They are worthy of your business. They have the best work ethic I’ve experienced in Columbus since I’ve been here. I’m a hard person to please. Thank you, Jerry and son!"

"This company does excellent work with both roofing and gutters. The crew just left my house looking brand new with the roof decking and good quality roofing materials, all edges and roof gable edging uniform and professional quality. The clean up afterward was great, with employees sweeping the yard for nails with a magnet to end the job, all debris picked up too. I highly recommend. 5 Stars!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
