"Highly recommended!! SES went above and beyond with my house remodel. The owner Shawn is very involved and hands on which made the process even easier. Very professional crew as well. They were always on time and always cleaned up after themselves. Ashley is amazing and always kept us updated and answered any questions that we had. If you want quality work done these are the guys to call. We are so happy with our home and will definitely be using them again in the future."

"Lawrence executed this project very well executed. The wood specifically cut and stained for this project came out beautifully. Went above and beyond with searching out better quality cabinets than could be sourced locally. Took the time to paint match the cabinets in the house! The little touches really made the difference!"

Customers say: Terrific value

"I started off with a bathroom remodel that came out excellent. I than had a 4,000 SQ FT home exterior siding redone and the entire house repainted; Leo was able to save a home that had been neglected for the better part of 2 decades. I am now using Monolith for a new kitchen remodel. I recommend their services."

"Mr. Kris Barlow and the KBar team added a 20’x12’ patio area to my home in preparation for a new roof installation. Kris immediately contacted me when my Angi project was posted and found time the next day to meet with me face to face to discuss the project. Within the week, Kris and crew were working and 2.5 days later the project was completed!! I greatly appreciated the professionalism, including showing up at specific dates and times we agreed upon, and willingness to discuss construction options! Solid work done in a timely fashion! Thanks!!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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. 

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.
