"My 25 year old deck needed to be leveled and repaired. Heath Enterprises returned all my calls quickly and came out to give me an estimate soon after I called. They finished the job in a few hours, came out under the estimate and did a few extra things. The deck is level and the stairs are repaired. Great Job! I will definitely hire them again and will recommend them to my friends."

"My husband and I were victims of fraud and shoddy work when we had our roof redone. A case in point was the ridge vent was sealed so we had no venting in our attic. Tyler came first thing in the morning and replaced the vent as well a shingles that had fallen off. It is very rare to find a young man who has such a good work ethic and isn't out to make his fortune on each job. We would love to work with him again."

"Hired these guys to build a long half wall built out onto a concrete floor in order to mount some electrical equipment. Zack was very knowledgeable, and gave me a couple options for what I wanted to achieve. He also helped me build the wall in such a way that allowed easy access for the electricians coming in behind him, which helped save time and cost later down the line. Quote was very reasonable, and the install was done quickly and efficiently, with a high level of attention to detail. I was very satisfied and have recommended them to others who ended up having a similar experience. High level of professionalism and very respectful, honest folks. look forward to having them involved in my next big project."

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
