"Zac pressure-washed my house, my front porch, and my sidewalk. He came to my house the week prior to the work to review what was needed; he then sent me a contract, explaining in detail what he recommended. On Monday, when Zac did the pressure-washing, it was brutally hot, in my opinion, yet he did the work, and it was superb! When I got home from my job, I circled my house twice, smiling with each step, as I reviewed the quality of his work. I certainly recommend Zac and Stick's."

"Best of the best! Andrew is my angel. We had recently moved to Sarasota and our previous contractor abandoned the job two days before we were due to move in. The place was a mess! Drywall dust and debris, trash. We searched Angi’s list and found Andrew. I didn’t know anything about him, but we were desperate. I could make this a very long story about all the good that Andrew has brought to our lives. Let me leave it like this, he is a skilled craftsman who will do literally anything you ask of him. Our house turned into our dreams, and Andrew remains a good friend, even though he has recently relocated to NC. Try him, you will not be disappointed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
