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: How do professionals incorporate framing into existing structures?

• <div><p>By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.</p></div>

Q: Can you replace the frame around a window?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace the frame around a window by completing either a partial replacement or a full replacement. With a partial replacement, your window specialist will remove the trim around the window and replace or repair just the damaged portion. For a full replacement, your tech will need to remove the window, replace the frame, and then reinstall the window.</p></div>

Q: Can you negotiate termite damage repair costs?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re considering buying a home with known termite damage, you can negotiate with the seller to lower the costs of the house. They might be able to make the damage repairs before handing over the keys or lower the asking price before the deal is agreed upon. It&rsquo;s vital though that even if you&rsquo;re winning the negotiation, a home inspection contingency might be a good idea in case of future issues. </p></div>
