"Fred and his crew were punctual for all appointments and work times. We had a composite front porch and railing built. The work was done professionally and efficiently. I would highly recommend Shore Points South Construction for any decking or porch projects. We will definitely be using them for any future projects."

"My deck was resurfaced because the first time it was done 4 years ago when it was enlarged they put new boards over the old deck without removing the original surface boards causing the new boards to rot now every thing was demoed and the old deck sections were revealed so the deck would be the same night And it came out beautiful I'm very happy the work that was done and will definitely call them when ready for my next project"

"Angel and all the members of each part of the crew (painting, installing, clean up) were outstanding! They were courteous and professional and I trusted in them from start to finish. Angel explained the whole process and helped me along the way. I am new to remodeling and did have help from my boyfriend but Angel had great ideas and is meticulous in his work. My boyfriend, who handled electrical, has been in the business for over 30 years and was also very impressed with the work and professionalism. I love my bathroom and am so excited to show my friends and family! I canâ t wait to get some work done on another bathroom and will without a doubt use ZZeo home renovations again! Iâ d highly recommend them, in fact my brother worked with ZZeo for a home rebuild and was so impressed which is how I found them! It was a pleasure dealing with Angel! He has great taste but doesnâ t pressure you and is very easy to talk to! Thank you very much guys."

"I could not be happier with my new enclosed porch! Mike came out in 11/21 and described options, took measurements and gave me an estimate and financing options to enclose an existing side porch for a 3-season room that had a concrete floor, roof and 4 posts. I was told that the project would take about 3 weeks and would begin in March. Everything was spot on! The completed project has aluminum framing, two steel doors, and vinyl floor. Everybody who's seen it says it's gorgeous! I am very satisfied."

"We hired Jim to build an outdoor kitchen for our back deck. We had an idea and design in mind, but Jim took them to the next level. His vision, attention to details and finishing touches can only be described as outstanding, and only matched by his great communication, punctuality, efficiency, and ease to work with. He stayed true to the budget we gave him, always cleaned up after the day’s work, and understood our time frame and was extremely accommodating. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Jim and his work. He is a true craftsman and we cannot wait to show him our next project."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

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.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
