"We had a pleasant experience with William Cullumâ s company. He came out himself at the start of the job, the first day of the build, and at completion of the project to ensure customer satisfaction. We requested an adjustment to the work and it was completed accurately and promptly. The project was done ahead of schedule and I recommended services to my neighbor who expressed interest after seeing the finished result."

"I had questions about the contract and never emailed me back or called me back. My question is that it lists something in the contract that costs $350 and there is not much description on what the carpenter will do. It just says I will under direction tell the carpenter what I want done. If I don't ;like what the carpenter intends to do and they don't do $350 of the total job, do I have to pay $350 for work not done because the contract is vague on what the carpenter is to do in a certain area. I never got an answer to this question."

"Jed did amazing work. He really worked with our budget and was very transparent when it came to decisions to be made throughout the project. He was also very organized and neat, which speaks to my heart, and never left a mess behind. Would definitely recommend to everyone."

"Great experience with this contractor. I had a couple areas on the front of my home where the soffit had pulled away from the fascia and they fixed this plus a couple other areas they found. Right on time, very professional work, looks like brand new. Highly recommended."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
