"Ben was fantastic. He was extremely diligent and orderly throughout the entire project. Very clean. The project was a complex IKEA room divider called the SKYTTA system and he build it to perfection. I couldn’t recommend Ben enough, no matter what the project is, I bet he can do it!"

Customers say: True professional

"I rank Landson Construction #1 in the list of contractors we have hired in our 40 years of home ownership. Ari and his team of subcontractors recently completed a challenging remodel of one of our bathrooms--challenging because it is a very small area with limited space. Their finished job looks better than our separate remodel of a larger bathroom completed by one of the big firms that advertises daily on television. Examples: the tile work in our small shower is exceptional, and the vanity/oversized sink is a perfect match that does not dominate the small room. Ari Erickson (no relation to me) offered selections from his preferred vendors, but we had full latitude to shop on our own for all tile and fixtures. He and his subcontractors kept us fully apprised at all stages of the project, arrived promptly throughout the course of the work, responded promptly to our texts and emails, and cleaned up their work area at the end of each day. My highest recommendation: I always seek at least four bids for a major project, but I would forego that process and hire Landson Construction again for future building/remodeling projects, and would encourage friends and family to do the same."

"Jared at Northland Construction was the lowest bid, but that's not why we hired him. He seemed very honest and knowledgeable about the project. They didn't use scaffolding like the others wanted to. The just used ladders. They arrived on time, did the work, and completed on time. At one point I went to ask a question and he apologized for his phone talking to him, which I didn't care about at all, but he was listening to a bible study podcast while he worked, which my wife and I thought was very cool. After the work was done, we asked if he could give us a price to fix a door that was not closing properly. He just fixed it and would not accept any payment for it. We tried to hand him a $100 bill, but he would not take it. Jared is a great contractor and a good man. We cannot recommend him highly enough and will definitely use him for any future projects."

"Bill was a true professional. He is a knowledgeable carpenter and also explains things well to the homeowner. Much of our work required him to work on a tall ladder, which other carpenters sometimes don't feel comfortable doing. He is also extremely neat, going above and beyond to pick up any debris at the job site and haul everything away in his truck. Other carpenters have put items in our own trash. Bill is reliable, honest, and takes time to do the job right. My husband and I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again for future projects."

"John came out and did an initial estimate of the work I wanted done.  He was very professional and gave me some ideas on how to deal with some other projects I need done.  The day the work was scheduled to be done he was here on time, completed the work and made sure everything was cleaned up after he was done.  He hauled everything that needed to be thrown out to the dumpster.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
