It is clear he is experienced and he was also reasonable in his cost. I would trust him to do any number of home improvement and repair projects!"

"Personable, professional, timely, project focused. Impressed with company from first on site visit for estimate, quality of materials offered, and fair pricing to completion of build. Workers cleaned up and secured site at completion of each work day. When it was necessary I was brought up to date when plans skewed from original and given options to pursue. I was told when project would start and approximation of completion date. It was one day off due to weather!"

"Eddie is an extremely talented carpenter. His work is beautiful and I would definitely hire him again. I had a complicated stair remodel. My house was built in 1985, and the staircase was the last major project that needed to be tackled. Eddie not only responded to my request immediately, he was very enthusiastic and confident about how he would tackle the staircase. He is detail-oriented and very meticulous. I have ZERO complaints about the finished product, he exceeded my expectations. CONS - Original timeline was not met. and he only works during the hours his kids are in school.. Patience pays off though, and his work is well worth any time delays."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
