"I googled local contractors in the area and found Design for living. Ben and his team were professional, friendly and reliable. Playing google roulette for a contractor is scary and honestly I could not have found a better contractor than Design for Living. My Basement came out AMAZING and I have received endless compliments. . A true professional from A to Z that I’ll be recommending to all my family and friends."

"Harvey and his team did a great job, everything looks great now and is properly installed. They were on time and completed on time and cleaned up after themselves. Harvey fixed work that was very badly done by another contractor."

"Jeff did an amazing job with both renovations. Like many, i had a very difficult time choosing a contractor because you want someone that is honest and reliable. I priced out many general contractors and even priced out contractors for the individual jobs but Jeff was the most reasonable and was able to complete every part of the job. He was also very flexible as we changed what we wanted throughout the job. Jeff is very conscientious and responsive throughout the whole process and will make sure the job is done right. He also credited me for any extra items i purchased and was very fair when it came time to determine the final payment. I would highly recommend Jeff and in fact he is currently doing renovations to my mothers house after i recommended him to her."

"Hiring Boan Built was the best decisions I have ever made. From day one of Scott coming to give me an estimate to the final day of final touches it was amazing. There was never a day I didnâ t know what was going on. I did a major kitchen renovation, removed all the flooring in the entire house and did all new electric. Living through a renovation is always arduous but this was not. He finished the job exactly when he said and his attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this company to do any and all your projects. 5 stars is not enough to show how happy I am with the result. Thank you for making my dream a reality. I absolutely love it."

"Renewal Solutions helped us after we had a tree fall on our house and cause extensive damage throughout our home. We did research on contractors in the area and they were recommended by our neighbors. Renewal Solutions were very responsive and never pushy during the estimate phase. Once we selected them they did major repairs on our house in 6 weeks where others said it would take at least 8-10. Their workers were there every single day, showing up in the morning and working through the afternoon six days a week. If he had any questions, Joe and Tommy were available and ready to answer them promptly. I heard horror stories about contractors before so I feel very lucky we ultimately ended up using Renewal Solutions who made this terrible ordeal easy and got us our home back in record time and looking better than ever."

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.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

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.

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.
