"Patrick is a thorough professional. Your project will be done on time and on or below budget. I trusted his recommendations for project modifications, which turned out better than anything I was envisioning. The list in this computer form don't begin to address all he did. It included installing light fixtures, updating kitchen cabinets and more."

"Bill is a very good contractor. He communicates well and does a great job, from start to finish. He completely gutted and remodeled an existing barn on my property into a business on the ground floor and a studio apartment in the loft. My husband and I are very pleased with the final products. His work is top-notch! Bill has also done tile work in our home. We highly recommend Bill Dallas for construction projects, new or remodels."

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"MDS Handiworks and Home Services exceeded my expectations. Nate was punctual, pleasant, patient, open to questions, and was extremely efficient. He installed three floating bathroom shelves and explained everything clearly. They look fantastic! He also hung a large privacy shade on our open, outdoor south-facing patio. His quality workmanship, clear communication, and reasonable pricing all added up to a very positive experience. We will definitely hire him again for future projects. We highly recommend this professional!"

"Tylor & Jake were professional and courteous. They showed technical competency and finished the job as promised. They could have done a little better job in keeping me informed about scheduling, but this does not take away from my rating at all. Great job!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

While carpenters and woodworkers perform similar tasks, their focus differs. A carpenter is typically responsible for the structural woodwork involved in construction, such as framing, installing sheathing, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing trusses. In contrast, a woodworker handles more intricate and custom projects, like building custom furniture, installing wainscoting, and creating detailed interior trim and moldings. Based on these definitions, many woodworkers can perform the tasks of a carpenter, but it's always best to discuss your specific project with a professional to ensure they have the necessary skills.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

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.

Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.
