"Hello! I am a contractor in the Bitterroot Valley specializing in residential framing and exterior timber work. I have worked with Lasting Decks for a while now, and have been impressed with their quality and professional workmanship. Their friendly and knowledgeable personnel have been very helpful to myself and others I associate with, and I will continue to seek out their services. I can certainly recommend Lasting Decks, but only if you want things really well done so your deck will last... up to you, I suppose. 😁 Lyman Jessop, Highland Hills Builders LLC"

"Justin and Three Dog Construction came highly recommended by a local custom home builder. He lived up to their recommendation. He did a great job from start to finish. If you hire Justin for your project you can expect a good communication and quality construction. As a commercial superintendent, I did not want to spend lots of money on a designer and plans to put a 1000SF addition with living quarters above it onto my existing house. I provided sketches and rough models of what I wanted. Justin took it from there. Three dog framed the new addition, then sided it, and resided the existing house to match. The quality of the framing was top notch, and I believe the outcome shows that. There were not many changes, and when they were I was informed before anything happened. Pricing was fair and reasonable for the overall effort and quality that was provided."

"We love our cabinets! They look fantastic while remaining affordable. The friendly staff at AWD helped us from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and gave us advice and tips when needed. They were receptive and patient with our ever-changing needs. Once we finalized our purchase, we received our cabinets within two weeks! The cabinets are very sturdy and the color is beautiful. The hinges and hardware are high quality. We are extremely pleased with AWD and would recommend them to any friends or family looking for good cabinets at a fair price."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.
