Q: Do joists sit on beams?

• <div><p>Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a nail to find ceiling joists?

• <div><p>You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it&rsquo;s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you&rsquo;ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations. </p></div>

Q: Can you live in a house with termite damage?

• <div><p>Living in a termite-infested home isn&rsquo;t just annoying&mdash;it&rsquo;s risky. These pests can quietly chew through wood, weakening your walls, floors, and even the structure of your house. On top of the safety concerns, there&rsquo;s the financial stress of repairs, not to mention potential health issues from mold or allergens stirred up by termite activity.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if a support beam needs replacing?

• <div><p>The best way to know if your beams still provide adequate support is to consult a structural engineer. Structural beams can crack and even sag over time but may still be structurally sound. Keep an eye out for signs of issues in your home, such as sagging floors or ceilings, major cracks in your ceiling and walls, or signs of water damage around a weight-bearing wall.</p></div>

Q: Do I need special lumber for framing a house?

• <div><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-frame-house.htm">how to frame a house</a> 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&rsquo;s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about finding the right lumber.</p></div>

I am so glad I went with this company. Brandon was very professional, easy to work with, fast turn around rate, and the quality of work was amazing. He built a huge deck around my building which looks amazing. He did all the Carpentry work in my new facility. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

I had a horrible experience with Uncle John's Handyman service. So here’s the negative review hoping it spares someone else. The second estimate was for $8,000 and they took two weeks to get back to me. The total cost ended up being over 15,000 dollars! Almost double the original estimate...

We hired Jake Bruton and Aarow Building for a large scale addition and renovation project. Long story short, the whole thing turned into a huge nightmare. He ended up at least 35% above the initial agreed upon bid. Then he walked off the job with no warning, leaving us to become general...

Unfortunately, much of the work was not level. They were not willing to re-do work on a fence that was not level or plumb, which cost us to hire another company to fix the problems. Other work on a retaining wall was left unfinished, and they did not haul off pieces left from demolition.

Jacob did a fantastic job! He was able to get to our work quickly in his schedule which worked out so nicely because our painters were coming in the next week. He finished the work in one day and kept all the sawdust outside. We will call upon him again for any carpentry work!

They did shoddy work. There is a hole in the porcelain on the tub. This was fixed. The shower door was also wobbly and they did not fix it as I had asked in numerous emails. I was trying to get in the shower and the door came off the track and hit me in the eye. I ended up with stitches. The...
