"I am so glad that we found Dan and his crew on Angie's List. We had what we thought and impossible garage conversion to an art studio due to a terribly cracked and uneven cement floor and a lot of bad DIY from the previous owner to deal with. Dan contacted us right away, gave us a timely, detailed and fair estimate for all of the work that his crew would do. Their work has been outstanding. I highly recommend Riemer Contracting and look forward to working with Dan and his crew on our next project!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Ensures proper sealing and alignment, preventing drafts and improving energy efficiency.

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.

Yes, you can hammer a nail into a wall stud. But before you do, it’s important to confirm that you’re actually nailing into a stud—and not wiring, pipes, or ductwork. To check, find a few more studs in the wall, then measure to make sure they’re either 16 or 24 inches apart.

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.

While most house creaking is expected to some extent and under normal conditions, it's not a good idea to ignore new noises. If other problems accompany the creakiness, like cement cracks, wobbly or loose stair components, or moving trimwork, it's time to look into the potential for foundation trouble or other structural problems.
