"I enthusiastically recommend Lindholm Carpentry to anyone. Short story: outstanding work, completed quickly, great communication and excellent overall experience at a competitive price. To elaborate, these guys are pros start to finish. I am really big on communication, and owner Scott gets an A+ from me in this category. Texts and calls were all responded to immediately and with clear answers and guidance. Scott has a great interpersonal way about him that is transparent, authentic and personable with concern for me and my family’s interests and satisfaction that went beyond the physical aspects of the job. The guys in the crew were clearly seasoned carpenters who did excellent work with confidence, attention to detail and great communication skill as well. They showed up on time every day, had impressive professional equipment and kept the work area clean throughout. Highly recommend!"

"Highly recommend Zzeo's Home Restorations. Extremely satisfied with the project work. Has water leakage into the house above the living room double windows. At first thought that the source was a roof overhang above the window. Angel gave an estimate for the work assuming it was the source. However, he warned that source could be from cracks in to mortar of the rock façade and would not know until some of the interior dry wall above the window and the roofing on the overhang was removed. Unfortunately the overhang was not the source of water intrusion. Thus had to remove the rock façade to find the source. Anel gave me a revised estimate for the work needed. So the damaged exterior wood was replace and interior drywall section replaced. The outside section where the rocks were removed was properly waterproofed. Instead of rock had this section replace with bricks. Also since the second floor window just above the leak and the double living room room window were in need of repair or replacement, had these windows replaced. Angel kept us informed as work progressed. His crew were very respectful and knowledgeable. The project results were extremely satisfying. As the project was being completed, my neighbors were very much impressed with workmanship and beauty of the work. Again highly recommend Zzeo's Home Restorations. I anticipate that I will use them for future projects."

"I'm an older woman, and having major work done on my home can be overwhelming, but the team who installed my asphalt shingle roof made the entire process easy and reassuring from the very beginning. They were patient, respectful, and took the time to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. I never felt rushed or pressured. The crew arrived on time, worked very hard, and treated my home with care. The new roof looks beautiful, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing it was done properly and will protect my home for years to come. They cleaned up thoroughly each day and made sure there were no nails or debris left behind, which I truly appreciated. It meant a lot to me that they checked in to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied with the work. It is not easy to find honest, dependable contractors these days, but Overstate truly delivered. I am very thankful for their kindness, professionalism, and excellent workmanship."

"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."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.
