"Mr. King did an excellent job on my shed roof at a very fair price. Communication between Mr. King and myself was prompt, professional and easy. He did what he said he would do and left the area clean. I would contact him again for future jobs."

"Ralph began working on our deck a day or two before a particularly shocking and difficult loss for our family. From start to finish, he was professioanl, caring, warm and relatable, and went above and beyond for this project. He respected our budget while also paying attention to the small details we hadn't thought of. He was highly communicative and flexible in his process. With what a catastrophic event we had just lived through at the time he was here, it was comforting to know we had a man like Ralph- along with his crew- taking such good care of us and our house during the whole ordeal. And now we have a beautiful new mudroom/office space to enjoy! I give him my highest recommendation and would have him back at my house for any additional work that crops up for us any time with zero hesitation. Thanks, again, Ralph! The new room looks amazing."

"They created a utility room on the main floor so that I can move my washer and dryer from the basement up to a main floor. It’s perfect. They installed a new shower in my main floor bathroom. They painted my house exterior and what an excellent job they did. They did multiple jobs around the inside and exterior of my home. My patio railings that they installed on portions of my roof look absolutely beautiful. These guys are so good at their work and very talented with creativity when you’re trying to think of how to improve things. I highly recommend them."

"We had a great experience with building our deck. They were quick to set up initial meetings, and spent a lot of time with us reviewing designs and options. Building went quickly and smoothly, and they were quick to respond to any questions and concerns. We are beyond pleased with our new deck, they did such a beautiful job."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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. 

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.
