"Dan did an excellent job for us and put my husbands situtation (he has Parkinsons) above all else! He made sure it has safety features and I totally trusted his judgement immediately! I would recommend Dan and his helper Tom to anyone! His prices are fair and his work is wonderful! Thank you 406 Construction!"

"Kyle with Feral 5 construction did excellent work in putting a new laminate flooring in our living space. The area had many odd angles, as well as circular cuts. Which he did a great job on. He was timely and considerate our wishes for the new flooring. His labor charges are on par with the going labor rate."

"When my mom unexpectedly had to move out of her home into a smaller, one level condo, Josh with JMB Enterprises made sure to add absolutely everything we needed to make sure she was safe & the transaction went smoothly. He has been wonderful to work with. Knowledgeable, efficient, hard working? I can?t say enough good things. I will be utilizing his help at the new condo and my own house. 100% I am also recommending Josh to the neighbors inquiring if we have a handyman. I say we have an ?excellent? one!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

He is very reliable and hardworking. Once started, he works quickly and efficiently and will continue with that mindset. Highly recommended to anyone looking for this type of work."

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.

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

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
