"We had the trim done throughout our downstairs, and I honestly can?t believe what a difference it made. They were so easy to work with professional, respectful of our home, and knocked everything out much quicker than I expected. They really listened to what I wanted, paid attention to the little details, and the finished product turned out even better than I had pictured. It completely transformed the space and made our downstairs feel so much more finished and put together. If you?re thinking about having trim work done, I can?t recommend them enough. We?re so happy with how everything turned out!"

"Like all homeowners finding a competent contractor is difficult. I recently had my home exterior painted and requested a bid from my prior painter and a new company that I found advertised in the Johnson County Home Magazine. Craig Anderson, Residential Solutions, (who I had not met previously) met me at my home and did a very thorough review of my project. He identified damage areas in the siding and trim boards that needed to be addressed. His bid provided details on each of the proposed repairs and on the paint project. He answered all my questions about the type of paint and the repairs. Craig was on the job site a portion of each of the work days. The entire project (minus the earlier siding power spray) was completed in 3 days. His crew also had to work around the gutter project that was being installed at the same time. The crew was hard working and respectful of my property."

"Chad was very professional and such a breath of fresh air to work with. Communication was superb. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with his work and it was exactly what we wanted. We hired him to complete an accent wall. We wanted a board and batten with additional trim work to match other decorative moulding in our home so required making sure styles of moulding etc were cohesive as possible. He took the time to show us different ideas and possibilities for the area we were working on. Started the work exactly when we requested and completed the job very timely. Respectful of our home and when working out schedules. He kept the areas he was using clean and picked up while working and when the job was completed. We have other trim work we are going to be completing in our home and will use Chad again. His BID and final cost for project very fair and well priced."

"We had them build a wheelchair ramp on the end of our porch. They were very careful to make sure the ramp would work for my wheelchair. They also made sure they cleaned everything up when the project was done."

"Matthew did numerous projects for me. Built me an entire new fence to replace an old one, repaired an aging deck, and repaired my lawn shed. Work was done in a timely manner, work was very well done. I highly recommend CPR to anyone needing projects done well and priced fairly. Will hire Matthew again."

"The owner of the company was on the job, working with his crew. They completed contract work, did extras, did a favor for a neighbor and cleaned the driveway. We have recommended them to neighbors, had them come for another job and plan to call them in the spring. Cliffy Care is the perfect name for the company because they do CARE about the quality of their work."

"I contacted Decker because we had some staining of ceilings in several rooms due to a roof leak. Jason did an excellent job repairing and painting the ceilings and walls. He was easy to work with. I also had the outside of the house painted. Juan and his crew did an excellent job, also. They paid attention to detail and were also easy to work with."

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

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.
