"David and crew were fantastic! They were very thorough, organized, reliable and professional. What we appreciated most was that David was a perfectionist, thought of everything and took care of little details that we didn’t even ask about. David, you are truly a joy to work with and an exceptionally skilled carpenter. We will use you for all of our future home renovations! Allison"

"Carlos with Red Bird did an excellent job building our wall. He was very responsive throughout the process and kept us informed every step of the way. When some subcontractors failed to show up, Carlos didn’t make excuses — he showed up himself and made sure the work was done right. The quality of the finished wall is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. I’d highly recommend Red Bird and Carlos to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work."

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

"This company totally exceeded my hopes and expectations from the beginning of the project to the end. From a very thoughtful and thorough proposal and vision to the execution and completion, I could not be happier with the work done and the care and professionalism that was shown throughout the entire experience. These are the hardest working group of landscapers I have ever seen- they worked ALL day, for days, and did everything meticulously and with perfection in mind. They trimmed an out of control tree, installed an incredibly impressive and needed drainage system under my patio, and then beautified the space with the pavers and a rock garden! I’m so excited to spend my summers out on my patio paradise now!!! Do not think twice about hiring Green Heron to take care of all your outdoor needs!! You will NOT be disappointed and your outside space will be the envy of the whole neighborhood!!! Very affordable and professional and the quality of work will amaze you. Thank you!!!!!"

"Troy and Matt did a fantastic job framing and installing custom surround for a new fireplace and prepping for the install of a barn door on the guest bathroom. TJ did a good job gutting an office and prepping and painting. I would without a drought hire them again and actually have some projects for next spring"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
