"I hired Triple A to install permanent LED lights on the front of my house. Aaron took his time to make sure that the lights were perfect. He communicated issue immediately and cleaned up the sight after completing the job. I would highly recommend him to others for this as well as other jobs around the house."

"Mr. Kris Barlow and the KBar team added a 20’x12’ patio area to my home in preparation for a new roof installation. Kris immediately contacted me when my Angi project was posted and found time the next day to meet with me face to face to discuss the project. Within the week, Kris and crew were working and 2.5 days later the project was completed!! I greatly appreciated the professionalism, including showing up at specific dates and times we agreed upon, and willingness to discuss construction options! Solid work done in a timely fashion! Thanks!!"

"Dan did an absolute fantastic job. Although he did not work specifically on recliners (he's a woodworker) he still undertook the task and did fantastic. Wonderful attitude, very likable. I was sorry we could not pay him the day he came to the house (as I was waiting on a new credit card which came in the next day). I would recommend anybody who needs wood working done to consider him."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’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’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
