I am the owner and operator of tree care and home repairs. We offer tree trimming, limb removal, tree felling and clean up. I also offer home repair and remodeling. I've been in the construction business for over a decade and I've been working with trees for 5 years. This business is new, as I'm just starting to go out on my own. It is just me during the construction jobs and it is my brother and I when we are doing tree jobs. We are a Christian company.

"This was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had with our repairs. The job was not only completed on time and in orderly fashion but it's amazing! Absolutely love my new bathroom! They were professional, they were courteous, and they were extremely skilled! I'd give 10 stars if I could!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’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.

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.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
