"The house had some damage from burst pipes, so the ceilings in some rooms were very rough.  Ben and his Team assessed the damage, procured the materials (I provided the paint and primer), replaced the drywall where needed, did all of the taping, mudding, and sanding/mudding/sanding - until the walls and ceiling were truly perfect.  They then applied primer and two coats of paint to the walls and ceiling.  They were careful to tape the window and door woodwork.  They even did a small bit of touch up on the areas that they felt were not perfect (they looked great to me!) The end result- the rooms look far better than I had hoped- really stunningly smooth and straight. They finished the job on schedule and for a very fair and reasonably price.  As my home renovation progresses, I will call upon Ben and his Team to help with the rest of the work.  Honest, professional, and a nice guy to boot!  Every member of his Team was pleasant to be around.  They were respectful and friendly.  Ben's drywall guy is a true artist!

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

It is common for a contractor to ask for a down payment before starting a project, especially for jobs that require purchasing materials and equipment or hiring a crew. The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost. While a request for up to 50% is not unusual, a contractor should not ask for more than that, and you should never pay for a project in full before the work has begun. To protect yourself, always discuss payment terms before starting and have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.

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. 

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

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.
