"Jerrod and his crew did an excellent job on our home addition and front porch. He was good with communication throughout the process. I felt completely fine with them working on our project while we were at work. They were respectful and cleaned up daily during the work. Jerrod was also open to changes and questions. I would recommend them to family and friends. The payment schedule was appropriate, too. We just made the final payment on completion and we would consider having him do future projects for us."

"Having our basement finished was going to be a big job, so we interviewed three different basement contractors. Based on a combination of good Angie's List reviews and their strong interview and proposal, we made the decision to hire Artistic. The results are stunning and the basement looks great! We had them take a completely empty and unfinished basement, and turn the space into a work out room, bedroom, large bathroom with sink/toilet/shower, game area, full kitchen, family room, and storage area. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. We were also very impressed with the entire crew. They were friendly, respectful, and experts in their trade. We have finally found a contractor that we will use for all future projects!"

"Zef and his crew were absolutely fantastic. They were quick, efficient, professional, timely and paid attention to my needs and wants. There were a few items which required Zef's ability to improvise, which he very cleverly completed. I have a totally new bedroom, a beautifully updated and painted two bathrooms, and a freshly painted interior. The results for everything were completely amazing. I will definitely use Zef's Construction for any other home projects. I give Zef's Construction top rating and would recommend him without hesitation.5"

Unfinished 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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
