"We were looking for help with adding additional deck framing , installing a handrail, and replacing some exterior trim that had rotted. Lucas and Tiago were excellent. Lucas promptly came out to discuss the work and provide an estimate. Pricing was competitive and communication was far more professional and reliable than other companies. Craftmanship was excellent and they cleaned up before leaving. I will definitely use them for future projects."

"I hired Barry back in November of 2020 to remove one of our built-in cabinets in preparation for our plumber to replace our cast iron pipes and to install some window trim for house. Throughout the process, Barry was highly professional, personable, and the quality of his work was second to none! Barry made the process easy and I was glad that I hired him. I would highly recommend him for any type of carpentry-related job. His knowledge of woodwork is one another level. I will definitely hire him again when I need more work done in the future."

"We hired Peter and his crew to tear down an existing porch and to rebuild a new porch with roof and twenty feet of decking. The demolition and disposal were completed in one day and construction began the following morning. The workmanship and professionalism were obvious from day one. From a fairly priced estimate to finish and clean up, Peter was always available with answers to questions along with knowledgeable suggestions when asked. Not only is Peter obviously on top of his profession but also just a real nice guy. I would absolutely recommend Ocean Break Construction to anyone in need of professional work, fairly priced and to be competed in a timely manner, I have every intention of utilizing their services again in the near future."

"The owner over saw all work. Because he knows the value of one's home/ house to the owner. They made sure they did the job as if it was their own home. I could not believe my eyes as things were progressing. I cried at varies times because the project was coming along so good.. Every detail was meant and every question or concern was answered. I have never been so proud of my home as I am now... It came out better then I ever expected or even imagined.. â ¤"

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done on my kitchen remodel and patio door replacement. From start to finish, the contractor was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of craftsmanship is excellent — every cut, finish, and fitting looks perfect. The kitchen turned out even better than I imagined, and the new patio door not only looks great but operates smoothly and seals perfectly. Communication was great throughout the entire project. They showed up on time, kept the workspace clean each day, and made sure I was informed about every step of the process. It’s clear they take pride in their work and truly care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this contractor to anyone looking for top-notch quality and a stress-free experience. I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects!"

Woodworking FAQs, 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.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

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.

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.
