"A couple of upstairs water pipes froze and burst in Dec22 gushing water over an upstairs bedroom and downstairs ceilings atop a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, hallway, laundry room, and garage. Mark Crossland came out in Jan and gave an estimate for repair and also advised on what should be done to correctly repair the areas. His bid was spot on for total damage, and made his company available when I received the insurance money. He removed all the damaged ceiling and wall areas, and replaced sheetrock and taping with painting the areas to look like nothing had happened. When we discovered the cause of the cold air coming into the house was an unhooked bathroom exhaust fan pipe, he agreed to replace the exhaust fan/light and install a new one instead of just reattaching the old pipe. As work progressed he was very clear on what needed to be done and found some issues with other problems in the construction of the house and advised on improvements. This house was a quick build in 1998 so the original builder had cut corners in the construction. His and the team from Carpenter's Kids where extremely knowledgeable and had a great work ethic. They showed up on time every day and worked hard at getting the damage repaired. The extra items I had needed to be done for some time where agreed to without hesitation. The extra things included reflooring two upstairs rooms from carpet to laminate, replacing two toilets, replacing both bathrooms exhaust fans, and insulating the flooring between the lower and upper floors. I couldn't be happier with them as a company and individuals doing my repairs, and our house has gained even more value from their expert building knowledge."

"Tyler explained everything and more importantly he did everything he said he was going to do to address water leaks in an our shop building. Due to leaks, he uncovered more damage that we weren’t aware of, and he stuck with us and completed everything to fully resolve the areas where water was finding its way in. We would hire him again, and would definitely hire him. He’s a great guy and we enjoyed working with him."

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.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.
