"We had Doug and his crew re-grout cracks in our shower and they were phenomenal. We had Doug come for an estimate and he was very knowledgeable and thorough. He even researched the brand of our old grout that was used (previous owners) so he was familiar with the suite of products and purchased additional products (colorant and sealant) for us to use after they re-grouted. The new grout and caulk look great and he walked us through the application of the additional products and even offered to assist with any questions as we used them. Doug worked with us to make the project cost effective and was in continuos communication with us regarding the project between the time of the estimate until after the project was complete. I would highly recommend Wolverine Custom Painting for any home projects, they go above and beyond. They also do more than painting :)."

"Dave and his son are phenomenal. He contacted me minutes after my initial post and was at my home within 1 hour. He looked at my deck and sent a quote later that evening. He began work that next week. What was an expected 2 day fix turned into a week long job due to the extensive damage. Dave kept me informed of what was done and needed to be done at the end of each day. He let me know what else needed to be done to make the deck last with the least amount of maintenance. I must admit my deck looks better now than it did with the initial builder. Thank you so much for a job well done."

"Gary couldn't get right out to scope out the job (ceiling damage from a leak connected to the stink pipe installation) but always communicated. Found him to be open and honest, wanted a job to be well done and to my own satisfaction and was more than reasonable. Now it's done and he was so easy to work with. Based on my initial experience we are already discussing another smallish project and I hope to be able to every once in a while invest in my home through the services that Gary offers."

"Four Seasons Painting did an amazing job replacing wood and painting the exterior of our house. Chris and his crew were friendly, fast, and very knowledgeable in helping us pick out the right color scheme. I highly recommend this company for any of your painting needs."

"Kris replaced a deck and 2 years later cleaned and re-stained it. I thought the price for the clean/re-stain was a bit high, so we negotiated, and I am happy with the final price and the work. Also, I needed a plumber in a hurry and Kris sent someone over quickly. All the people who work for Kris have been pleasant to work with, and Kris is easy to communicate with. I will use him for other projects."

"Lucas was able to install a bathroom fan for us, install a vanity, paint our basement ceilings, install lights in our basement, and complete a closet install in our upstairs bedroom. This work was completed within a timely manner and Lucas was responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. He was very thorough in his work as well."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Hiring a woodworker can be expensive, depending on the job, but it’s very often well worth the investment. Woodworkers are able to provide custom pieces of furniture and handmade construction to present a finished product that is exactly to your specifications. If you have a specific vision for a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture or home feature, the cost of hiring a professional woodworker is worthwhile. Plus, you’ll often get a higher quality product than what you could buy in stores for a fraction of the price.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.
