"I definitely recommend Bill, Dylan, and crew for any work that you need done. They are highly skilled, trustworthy, and reasonably priced. They will spend time with you determining the best options for your project that fit within your budget. Bill and Dylan took out my deck style front porch and added a covered front porch on my 1897 home. They took care to match the style of the porch to the style of the house while staying within my budget. There are pictures of this house back to the 50's where there was no covered porch, but the porch they added looks like it has always been part of the house. The workmanship was excellent, and they took care to keep the work area neat. They also repaired rotten sections of my box / hidden gutters around my entire house. There was significant damage, and this was a large undertaking. I am very happy with the end result and feel comfortable that I will not have to worry about issues with the gutters for many years. Bill, Dylan, and crew have done additional work for me including lowering the height of my non-working chimney and re-mortaring the remaining section, repairing trim on the house that had been chewed up by carpenter bees, and replacing my bathroom vanity. All of their work has been great! I will continue to use them for all of my future projects."

"Mr. Moreland and his team were on time, stayed late and met all our needs. As the project developed, he was able to incorporate my changing wants and needs. I appreciated his honesty and ideas. I am planning on doing a master bath remodel and opening up the first floor for a little more of an open floor plan shortly as soon as our money allows, thank you all."

I've been working in the trades for almost 10 years now and have gained a wealth of knowledge since then. I have an extensive back ground in rough carpentry, trim carpentry and concrete but I have a very transferable skill set. I'm primarily looking for work in the Central KY area but I'm willing to go anywhere for the right opportunity. Your satisfaction with whatever scope of work you need done is my #1 priority and I won't stop until you're are happy! Looking forward to working with you!

"Overall we were very pleased with the quality and professionalism from Distinctive Designs. The cost covered all the major construction like plumbing, electric, drywall, etc. They use contractors that they work with all the time and they do high quality work. In a large project like this there are always issues that crop up and they handled everything quickly and easily. You choose your own vendor to work with for cabinets, appliances, flooring etc. Ian, our project manager, was excellent. He was easy to work with, flexible and communicated frequently with us through the process. It was hard to keep straight the sequence of all the different tasks between those other vendors and he made that easier. We hired DD after reading these reviews and now after this 6 month project has completed I feel they lived up to all these great recommendations."

"Jose & his team did an excellent job and performed a wide array of work for our home. They were one of the best priced, clean, efficient, happy and saw the work through to completion . I am a stickler for details and they executed on everything I asked. To give a scope of work: Jose's team removed 18 year old wall paper on a 4400 square foot house (85% of the walls had paper), removed 2 roman columns, added cased openings to 3 arched openings, added custom trim to the master bathroom, performed some minor travertine tile work, painted the entire interior, painted multiple exterior requests (front of house, columns, front door, garage door) and they also helped build a TV niche with me. Our other contractor who was doing the hardwood floor and cabinets liked his work so much, he picked him up for their work as well. Long story short, great job to Jose & JS Painting. I highly recommend."

"They did a wonderful job! From the time he gave us the estimate to the time they finished was about 48 hours! They worked hard, cleaned up as they went, were courteous, and were pleasant to work with. Thank you, Mr. Helton, for doing what seems so difficult to find these days -- you did what you said you would do when you said you would do it. It was a pleasure working with you."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
