"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to
write this review so that the request to write this review stops
popping up.
The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit.

"They did a good job. She had to submit like a photo but my daughter had them work on the central are of the loft. The deal was for one room. She got a lot of good ideal from her and it was worth it for her. They were professional and I did not hear anything negative."

"It went well. John was easily accessible and available even when he had to drive all the way in from Lafayette. We are pleased with the remodel! I would use him again."
This a house that had a fire in garage and we had to gut out entire interior and removed all ceiling joists and entire roof then install new ceiling joists and build a new roof

"Randy's came out quickly after we first called. They gave us an estimate for the project right away. We later added to the original project to include other areas of our building which was greeted with a "No problem". They came to do the project quickly as scheduled and stayed until it was entirely completed. They were very professional and talked with us throughout the project. They voluntarily did a few extra things that made the project look even better WITHOUT CHARGING a dime extra. Even when the project took a day longer because of the add-on, they didn't change the original estimate and didn't complain. They were very positive and even cheerful throughout the project and worked very hard. They were continuously professional and friendly. It is obvious that they cared about the quality of their work. We had a great experience with Randy's Total Renovation. They did a great job at a great price and did extremely good work. We will hire them again for all work we need and recommend them to anyone who needs any kind of construction or renovation"

"Although our overall job had a change in scope and had to be stopped and re-started a couple of times, Mr. Minor was ready and able to get the job completed. The crew was quick and efficient. I’ll call them again when I need electrical work done."

Unfinished 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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
