Super Service Award Winner

"Rick was awesome to work with. In the world of contractors, they normally don't communicate well. Rick greatly surprised me with how responsive he was via texting. He is a friendly guy to work with in person and he did an excellent job at doing my baseboards throughout my entire house. He kept things tidy and cleaned up everything after he departed."

"Nick was great to work with. He was professional, prompt and thorough. He was undeterred by the little (and big) things that come up when working on older homes, and just plowed ahead and got things done. The workmanship is excellent and the job took exactly the time he said it would. Good guy. Good carpenter."

He is highly detail oriented and used his custom tools to provide the exact look I wanted. Communication was great and the jobsite was cleaned up daily. I would definately hire Mark again."

"Amazing job. The workmanship so good to match the existing wall and blend so it’s not a noticeable repair. Many neighbors have stopped by and commented on the good job. We were impressed with this contractor’s excellent communication. I would hire them again for any work we need done here at our home."

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
