"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."

"It was perfect! They had to replace butcher block countertops that had been incorrectly installed by another company. They came out and gave an estimate and had samples of wood to choose from and gave options for the installation on the edges, etc. They show up when they are scheduled to for all appointments and they explain what they are going to do and how to care for the counters after installation. Exceptional people to work with!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

"Professional, friendly, great attention to detail. Jesse and his crew rescreened our existing porch moving the screen to the outside of the porch framing. The work was beautifully done, great attention to detail, great clean up after the completion of the project and an ever present concern for the safety of the crew. (We had several rain days that could have been dangerous work using 2nd floor scaffolding.) I would recommend Summerlin Exteriors."

"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."

"Excellent fence repair—professional, good communicator and easy to work with. Jesse replaced 5 rotted posts and 9 warped/cracked pickets. He also screwed all the pickets that were breaking away and replaced the hardware on two gates, so they worked smoothly again. Everything was cleaned up afterward, and the fence looks great and feels sturdy. My beagle dog is thrilled that she can go out and run again! I would hire Jesse again."

"Highly recommend David and his team! He helped remove our screened in porch and restored the home to its original condition including the fascia, siding, roof, gutter, cement work, and electrical seamlessly. His team works very efficiently and it's very apparent that he prides himself on delivering high value professional quality services. Wouldn't hesitate to rehire in the future."

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

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.
