"Excellent - could not have been better. Ralph Rohn was responsive to all our requests, is easy to work with and didn't mind all the crazy questions we asked. He is punctual and takes care of every detail in a timely manner. We got several estimates from contractors. Ralph gave us a good price and we felt we wouldn't be surprised by extra charges at the end. We give him our highest recommendation without reservation."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Wow. Norm is one of the most responsive contractors I have ever dealt with. He called back promptly; he talked through issues very clearly; his workers communicated well; someone was always available. Very responsive and very professional. Because I am busy and work out of town, I place a great value on getting my calls returned and on having all details settled quickly. Norm gets an A++++++ on all of these scores. Really impressive. And of course I liked the work he did."

"Highly recommend and would hire again! Angela and the Make it Happen team was the first to respond to my Anji request, the first to come and assess my framing and insulation needs, and the only one I had to hire to complete my entire project. Angela has a large team with multiple levels of expertise. I started with framing and insulation because, to be honest, I had just been ghosted by another contractor mid-project and was trying to wrap my head around a way forward. The Make it Happen team did such an amazing, professional job -- and literally started the day after we hired them -- that I asked if they had time to help me with the rest. They said yes and literally made it happen. From that day on they worked at my house daily until it was done. They did drywall, doors, windows, paint, trim, floors, stairs, and appliance install. They showed up on time, stayed until done, cleaned up daily, answered all calls, were at all inspections, and priced fairly. So grateful! Highly recommend!"

"Geo and his team recently performed exterior repair work on my home to fix rotting wood along corners and gables. The work was extensive and very detailed. The work was thorough and of the highest quality. We were extremely happy and satisfied with the repairs Geo and his crew performed. The work wasn’t easy, the front of the house sits on a tall sloping hill where ladders need to go. His team handled this wonderfully and kept the landscaping intact. From the initial estimate until the final walk-through Geo was courteous and professional and gave meaningful suggestions about which materials to use and where the issues were. It felt more like a close collaboration than just some “contractors”. It was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be using Geo again for future projects."

"We were so impressed with the Odyssey team from start to finish. Caleb was very thorough in explaining the details of the roofing project, and he was always accessible when we had questions throughout the process. When they came to do the roofing work, they were very considerate and hard-working. Frank and Carlos were very personable and professional. When we had concerns, they addressed them right away. I highly recommend Odyssey Contracting and would not hesitate to call them again when we have a construction project. Thanks for your excellent service!"

"I was highly pleased with Clarke's work. Before arriving, he had selected cabinet-quality plywood for the repaired cabinet bottom. He worked very efficiently and the finished job had a very professional appearance. I wouldn't change a thing about Clarke's work and I enjoy seeing the results several times a day. Also, setting up the appointment was very easy. Especially, after calling a couple of handymen who never returned my call. I definitely will call Handyman of Western Wake the next time I need a repair."

"These guys are top notch! So many positive things to say. We have hired Leon for multiple renovation projects in our 1960's midcentury modern home. We hired him after having a negative experience with another contractor who we had to fire in the middle of a remodeling project. We have said many times we wish we found Leon sooner. Chris Leon the owner is very responsive and gives reasonable prices for top quality work. These guys do it all- painting, flooring, electrical, plumbing, drywall and details, details, details. Chris is very trustworthy and even suggested ways for us to save money, instead of just encouraging us to spend as much as possible like many other contractors do. Even after being paid for all the work he came out to our house to make slight modifications at our request. His contractors are all very polite and hard-working. We felt very comfortable having the team around in our house with our family. People who see our house want to know where we had such great work done!"

Unfinished 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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
