"Doug and his team were great! We needed our deck rebuilt and reinforced for our hot tub. They build a deck sturdy enough for several hot tubs!! Doug came out quickly and gave us a very reasonable quote and was back out two days later to start the job. I wouldn't hesitate to call Doug for any home improvement project."

"These guys are fabulous! If I could give them 10 stars I would. They are professional, reasonably priced for the wok price they do, and they do great work. I have used them on many projects large and small for over 5 years. They have done both interior and exterior work, from painting to landscaping, to construction, to home repair. They have ALWAYS completed the work on time and with exceptional quality."

"I had the interior of my house painted and new carpet installed in 3 bedrooms. The carpet installers were excellent! Very precise and hard working. They moved out all the heavy furniture and put it all back in place when finished. Work was done in 3 hours. The painters did a great job! They were very nice men. I had one area that I wasn't really pleased with and Steve had Maricio come back a few days later and fix it at no extra charge. It looks fantastic now."

"Adam was incredible! I hired him after a family member failed miserably at building a new deck for us. He came in, listened to what I wanted, and then built exactly what I had envisioned only better. He truly is a master at his craft, and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help correct the disaster we were stuck in. Hire him!!! You won’t be disappointed"

"When I met George, we talked about options for my 2 cars carport at my backyard (measurements & time frame). He's very knowledgeable of what He is doing. He also manages His crew very well. He is Mr Wright to do the right job. My family loves the carport that we don't have to worry about getting wet on rainy season to get in and out of the car. Our carport is very nice, huge, and sturdy. Thanks to R Wright Construction."

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
