"Les took on this work from another carpenter who closed their business. He quickly worked out the drawings, consulted with us regularly and was good about communicating and meeting his commitments including showing up when he said he would. The shelves fit perfectly and look great in the space. We appreciated his design skills and his attention to detail. We would absolutely hire him again."

"I highly recommend Home Genius for a siding project. Everything went really smooth. Any time we had questions they were answered quickly. Our project manager Tony was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us to help us understand how this project would go. I’m so happy with how everything turned."

"We hired Jesse to build us a fence in spring 2024 and could not be happier with the result. We recommend him to everyone and the fence is absolutely gorgeous and so sturdy. Even withstood a giant tree fall during Helene with barely any damage (see picture). Incredible workmanship and so fun to work with in general. We hired him again for a bathroom reno which just wrapped and I’ll review next."

"Joe was just great. Arrived on time, performed a quality job of repairing a very rotted out exterior soffit on my daughter's home. He completed the job ahead of schedule and at a very very fair price. Highly recommend him for any carpentry job."

"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"

"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."

"Josh and his team replaced our porch and fence and completed several smaller projects around our house. Josh helped us envision what we wanted and he was great to work with. We’re so happy with the final result and we can’t recommend them enough!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
