"We had such a small shower that we would bump the sides just trying to lean over to wash our feet and we hardly ever took baths in our family.  So, the decision was made to have them torn out and have a new larger shower installed that we would be comfortable with and truly enjoy while we lived here.  
We began our Re-Bath experience at a Raleigh Home Show and we had our appointment set about a week later.  The gentleman came to our house and took measurements and sat with us to discuss exactly what we wanted the shower to look like.  He went over all the options and choices and discussed financing options as well.
Ultimately, when they came to do the work, they were clean and professional.  The guys were friendly and humorous and made us feel comfortable during the whole process.  They kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up after themselves every day during the 3 day process.  Afterwards, we had a brand new shower installed and we could not be much happier with our new bathroom.  The price may be a little higher than some contractors out there, but they stand behind their work and they have a good reputation to protect.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
