"Mr. Locklear paid attention to detail and did not rush through the job as I have seen in other pieces of mine in the past. His work has shown me that he is a master at his craft and would recommend him over any custom builder on the east coast."

"Elite Builders of Myrtle Beach, and their Elite Cabinetry Solutions team absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the VR design experience (which was incredible) to the fast turnaround and hands-on service, everything was seamless. Being able to see my kitchen before approving it gave me total confidence and the final result matched it perfectly. They’re not just installers they’re designers, suppliers, and true professionals who follow through on everything. Elite Builders of Myrtle Beach and their Elite Cabinetry solutions team doesn’t just do it well… they do it better. Highly recommend."

"Israel Garcia did a excellent job at my home. He rebuilt my porch's support structure which was sagging and close to collapse. He removed the entire flooring, rebuilt the support and leveled it. Then he reinstalled the Trex floor. He also built new stairs. He saved me a lot of money in materi and labor. He was methodical and highly efficient in his approach. Highly recommend. Hard worker and honest. Pastor Joe"

"Don Wherren's work is exceptional. Walls were removed, every piece of woodwork from ceiling to floor was upgraded, custom made cabinets for television, computer, fire place mantel, book shelves, storage were built. Additionally, one contractor was hired years ago and never completed the work on adding a laundry room. Mr. Wherren came in and completed all the work, pulling all permits required and ensuring everything was built to code. I would not hesitate hiring him again or recommending him to others."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
