"The owner and his team successfully installed a metal roof and a complete bathroom, which included a walk-in shower with a sliding door, new floor tiles, a toilet, a vanity, an exhaust fan, and fresh paint, all completed within seven days. The owner was actively involved, providing regular updates and explanations throughout the process. We are highly satisfied with both the new roof and the bathroom renovation."

"Jay Nobles and an associate refinished a bathtub and a shower for me on 05 Aug 19. Most of the work was completed the first day with virtually no impact on other parts of the house. Jay and his partner returned the following day to complete the job (the finish had to dry overnight). I found a sag in the epoxy finish applied to the shower and mentioned it to them when they returned to complete the job and they quickly repaired it and recoated that area without issue. Both individuals were extremely professional and courteous as well as conscientious about limiting dust and odors associated with the job. The price charged was very reasonable and I highly recommend SPR Bathtub Refinishing."

"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'.

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
