"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."

I’m a full-time carpenter and remodeling contractor based here in North Carolina, and I take on select side projects for homeowners who want quality work done right the first time.\n\nMy background is in residential remodeling and carpentry, with hands-on experience in everything from framing and structural work to finish carpentry and detailed installs. I’ve spent years working on full home renovations, investment properties, and custom projects, so I understand not just how to build something — but how it needs to perform long-term.\n\nFor smaller jobs and side work, I focus on projects where craftsmanship actually matters. That includes things like:\n\n* Deck repairs and framing\n* Interior carpentry (trim, doors, accent walls)\n* Exterior repairs (siding, fascia, rot repair)\n* Flashing and water management issues\n* Punch-list and “fix it right” work after other contractors\n*Backsplash install and tile repair \n*Drywall repair \n*Interior and exterior painting

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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.
