"We had such a small shower that we would bump the sides just trying to lean over to wash our feet and we hardly ever took baths in our family.  So, the decision was made to have them torn out and have a new larger shower installed that we would be comfortable with and truly enjoy while we lived here.  
We began our Re-Bath experience at a Raleigh Home Show and we had our appointment set about a week later.  The gentleman came to our house and took measurements and sat with us to discuss exactly what we wanted the shower to look like.  He went over all the options and choices and discussed financing options as well.
Ultimately, when they came to do the work, they were clean and professional.  The guys were friendly and humorous and made us feel comfortable during the whole process.  They kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up after themselves every day during the 3 day process.  Afterwards, we had a brand new shower installed and we could not be much happier with our new bathroom.  The price may be a little higher than some contractors out there, but they stand behind their work and they have a good reputation to protect.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

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.

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.
