"The best testimonial I can offer is that I’ve now hired JC seven separate times and I’ll hire him again in the future. He’s my go-to guy. The price is fair, the work is good. He’s sober, reliable and timely. I worked as a project manager for a larger contractor for a while, and this is as good as you’re going to be able to hire."

"Ken was great to work with. He’s very responsive and wants to make it as easy as he can for the homeowner. I do NOT like how the company does their pricing. They do not give you a set estimate for the project. They’d need to give me a fixed estimate and do change orders like a normal contractor or we would not hire them again. If they changed that we’d hire Ken again."

"Bill and Billy were very professional and efficient with the projects I had at my home. They built me and 2 car garage and deck off the back of my house. Pricing was very fair and the quality of their work was top notch. They're family owned and operated. I highly recommend them as a general contractor and builder for any home projects."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Mollie and Catalino at Ruiz Enterprises to remove our old screened in porch and build a new deck and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and above all, stress-free. Communication: Mollie and Catalino was outstanding in terms of communication. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and worked very hard to help find ways we could save money. I was kept informed at every stage, and any questions or concerns were addressed promptly and thoroughly. Quality of Work: The quality of work was very impressive. The deck was built with attention to detail, and it’s clear that Catalino and his team take pride in their work. We went from having a poorly designed screened porch that flooded to a beautiful new deck that gives us more usable space and more room to enjoy being outside. Timeliness: The project was completed on schedule, with no unexpected delays. Mollie and Catalino provided a clear timeline from the beginning, and they stuck to it and even worked with us as waited for HOA approval. Professionalism: The team was punctual, courteous, and respectful of my property. They maintained a clean worksite and ensured everything was in order before they left each day. Catalino even returned unused materials back to the retailer and I got almost a $1,000 back from the unused materials. I was happy to get the money back and not having to load and return heavy bags of cement! Overall Experience: I am thoroughly impressed with Ruiz Enterprises and the deck they built. It has transformed our outdoor space into a perfect place for relaxation and entertainment. I highly recommend Ruiz Enterprises to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and dedicated contractor for their home improvement projects. Thank you, Mollie and Catalino, for a job well done!"

"The project went great!!! Hayden the general contractor was wonderful. He updated me each and every step of the process and always kept true to his word on cost, timeframe, and etc. I always felt I was in good and trustworthy hands as he and his team worked on each aspect of my garage conversion. He made sure each inspector who came for each area, mechanical, electrical, framing, insulation, and final were all handled efficiently and each one passed on the first try and I was even told by the inspector that they wished every inspection they did went as smoothly. If you need any project done, I highly recommend H&P general contracting. I will do any and all future home projects through Hayden and his company going forward. He definitely gets a 100 star rating from me."

"I called 3 other contractors to replace some tiles on the kitchen floor and Brandon of Christenbury was the only one to respond in a business and timely manner. We made the appointment, he was on time and did the job in a timely manner. I will use him again for house repairs."

"We have updated my kitchen and laundry room and closes in a loft to make a bedroom. I will be working with Randy to do 2 bath remodels and a deck in the coming months. Randy kept our projects on schedule and on budget. I wouldn’t contact or recommend another contractor!"

Unfinished 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.

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.

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.

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.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
