"A tree from my property damaged my neighbor's fence and I contracted with JNJ Fencing. John requested a picture which I provided and he came out the following day. Job was completed in record time Both my neighbor and I are quite pleased with the pair. Workers were courteous, affable and engaging. I would definitely recommend this company. Should I ever need any future fencing work to be done, I would absolutely reach out to JNJ Fencing."

"Reed is an amazing craftsman. He built this beautiful deck for me but he has done countless other projects for both me and my daughter and son-in-law. He has painted, repaired drywall, rebuilt a fireplace, built custom cabinetry, done landscaping projects, replaced flooring and many other projects. He is kind, incredibly skilled and makes sure everything is done perfectly. We consider him part of our family now! I highly recommend Reed!!!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"We had a few rotted spots on our house soffit and fascia that needed repair. They communicated with us and came on the day and time they said they would. They finished the job in half a day and we were very pleased with the results. They even took a piece of our wood to have the paint matched so they could paint it to look like the rest of the house. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Would definitely hire this company again!"

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
