"Installed Crown Molding about 175 linear feet in Living Room, Kitchen and hallways. Made new house look 100 percent better. Price was lowest of five quotes. Quality of work exceptional. Integrity and honesty, up there with the best. Painters were good but need to do a better job of cleaning up after themselves. Still 5 star recommendation."

"Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience with Renew Crew of Raleigh. Communication was a problem, as we had to follow up several times with the company to ask about scheduling, billing errors and other details. When the job started, there were several problems along the way. The biggest problem was that the technicians did not protect from their overspray, so there was excessive stain sprayed on our lawn, our gate hardware and other hardscaping, as well as some overspray on the house and downspouts. The crew also stained 60’ of our neighbor’s fence that was supposed to be power washed only. Ultimately, the fence turned out beautifully, and the owner did take appropriate steps to remediate the problems, but the entire process was frustrating from start to finish."

"He, and an associate got here 10 minutes early. They have erected the type of ceiling storage before! The work was completed in about an hour ( the instructions said it would take 2-5 hours). Great job, good guy! We put all our Christmas stuff up there this afternoon."

"We hired Christian to redo our deck and it was an INCREDIBLE experience. We had some unexpected additional repairs (rotted wood) along the way that he communicated through and we got it done! we had a tight deadline and he crushed it. The deck is beautiful and well made and he went above and beyond with other things we needed (hauling and screening our porch). I 12/10 recommend him for any building or repair projects. He will be helping us with our property from here on out!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.
