"I was pleased with every stage of the process: Jose Gallardo's thorough explanation of the extent of the problem, his detailed estimate, the scheduling of the job, the exceptional work the crew did, and they way they cleaned up prior to leaving. I'd recommend them without reservation."

"Sharon and her team were absolutely incredible. They were locked in and committed from the jump. They assembled 3 offices desks, 2 tables , and 8 chairs. They worked tirelessly for 2 long days to complete the job. The tasks were way more involved than what we both first expected so we did have to negotiate the price some after they started but it was mutually decided that more time was needed to complete. They cleaned up after themselves and communicated throughout the entire process. We will definitely reach out if we have more work that needs done."

Hi I’m Dillan Gambrel I’ve been doing construction work for 16 years, I started working with my pappal when I was 10 in the summers framing houses we would start from scratch dig and pour footers all the way to putting the saufit on. My dad also builds speck houses he’s taught me a lot from that aspect of it. I’ve started doing decks and fences on the side for the past few years. I’ve now made it offical with an llc and now I’m insured.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
