"Angel and his team did a first class job of building a beautiful screened in porch on our existing deck, including the necessary structural work underneath. We spoke with multiple contractors and ZZEOS were the most knowledgeable and detailed oriented. We were so impressed with the porch, we had the finish off around the bottom of the deck. Pricing was very reasonable. They give you lots of options like skylights, doors, siding and shingle colors, etc. if we do anything else to our home, we will give them a call."

"Ac better homes llc -roberto reynaud, Our house was built in 1926. We have lived in our home since 1946. It was remodeled over 50 years ago with new additions. The interior had not changed since. As my parents have gotten older, as you can imagine i have had to do some construction, lighting, plumbing, doors and locks, and exterior roofing repairs within the past 6 months. I found roberto through a family member he had done some beautiful work for which included painting from floor to ceiling, new flooring, fixtures etc. I am happy to say that roberto is a treasure. He is an honest and hard-working young man. Roberto is dependable, reliable, and forthright regarding his value and pricing and necessity for the jobs that he does. To date Roberto and his team has: 1. rebuilt the stairs to my basement. 2. recovered my kitchen floor with new covering. 3. replaced lighting fixtures in my bathrooms, pantry and kitchen ceiling. 4. replaced locks for my external doors. 5. replaced a leaking"

"Smooth as can be. Peter handled all of the permit process with the City and coordinated the necessary sub contractors to build us a beautiful bathroom for our second bedroom.

"Doc is excellent! Finding a contractor in Philly with honesty, integrity, and pride in their work is very difficult. Most home owners in Philly understand this. Doc was professional, courteous, communicative, and did the job correctly. It did go a little longer than planned, but that's to be expected with an old house and having to replace and fix previous crappy contractor work. His pricing is spot-on! Doc doesn't mess around - HE KNOWS HIS CRAFT. He is a master plumber and craftsman in the truest sense. You can't go wrong with Doc, and you know you'll get a fair price and be working with someone that will stand by their work. I will be working with Doc again for sure. I'm already saving for our next project."

"Harry from Bathroom and Kitchen King is everything you want in a contractor. Everything he promised he delivered. He always kept me in the loop each step of the way and went above and beyond in making me feel like I was his only client - which I know I was not since he is very busy. The work was top notch and better than we could have hoped for. I’m very picky and Harry was very patient. You won’t be disappointed and you can reach out to me if you have any questions. I highly recommend Harry and his team!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.
