"Tony came out promptly and gave us an estimate which we received the same day. Once we accepted the bid, work was started 3 days later. Work was completed on time and he did a great job. Tony kept a very neat work area. We are very satisfied with his work and will definitely call Kendall Builders for our next job."

Customers say: True professional

"This company and every single person that was part of their team were beyond any expectations I could have had. I’ve had several different contractors for different projects and this company was BY FAR THE BEST I’ve ever worked with! I have recommended them and will continue to do so and I plan to hire them again for future projects. They stood out to me because of their communication, they actually start in the morning 730-8am and they worked a full day until 3-4 and a few days even later! They are amazing!!!! Invest your projects with this company!!!"

Unfinished Carpentry 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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
