"If you're looking for a builder or contractor in Emerald Isle, I can't recommend Stevie Marshall highly enough. Stevie and Gail built my parents' home many years ago, and they continued to support them with repairs, renovations, maintenance, and honest advice for years afterward. When we purchased the house, they immediately became our most valuable contacts in Emerald Isle, helping us with new windows, updates, and other improvements. Their prices have always been competitive, but what truly sets them apart is their integrity and commitment to quality. They provide turnkey service, communicate well, and genuinely care about getting every detail right. As second-home owners, it's invaluable knowing Stevie cares about our house as much as we do. If you want someone who is honest, dependable, and stands behind their work, you won't find anyone better."

"Absolutely beautiful table! Perfect craftsmanship. Customer serve was spot on. If you want attention to detail and a great product, you can't go wrong with Calypso Woodworks! They've done other work for us over the years and never disappoint... Building custom shelves, and many other home improvements that have nothing to do with woodworking in general but involved much skill in design! I am horrible at seeing what can be, but they can create in their mind what you ask for and bring it to life! They are fabulous! We WILL be back for MORE!"

"I would highly recommend this business.  We had them come and restain the deck and at first just powerwash the house.  They scheduled the work right away.  After doing the pressure washing, there were some areas with paint chips under the soffit.  Mike offered to repaint those for free.  During this, they noticed areas of the soffit that were rotten, so we had them repair those areas of the wood.  They also fixed a few screens that were damaged during the pressure washing for free.  
Everything turned out great, and we are very happy we had this work done.  Mike and Crystal are very professional and easy to work with.  I will be having them do some more work on our house in the near future.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
