"Doug showed up "on time," which is HUGE for starters! My Bernhardt couch needed repair. Doug looked over the work to be done, and came back "on time" the following week and repaired all of it - like new! He was friendly, knowledgeable and definitely over-qualified for the repair but I was thrilled to get a custom carpenter to do the work! I would highly recommend him! Thank you Doug!"

"I Received a detailed estimate of the work to be performed and a revised estimate any time we discussed and agreed to any adds. The work was done very much to my satisfaction. All workers were very professional, obviously skilled to do their particular parts, and cleaned up and hauled away all trash and parts removed. I had a wall removed between the dining and living rooms, a dropped ceiling removed in the kitchen, several recessed lights added, and some painting. Jacob Ledesma, contractor, and I believe owner, is a consummate professional. His rates are very fair based on my research and other quotes obtained. I will use this company again for other projects and highly recommend this company"

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company!! They were very responsive throughout the entire project and their prices were the most reasonable of everyone else who gave me quotes. All of their work is high quality. For my front yard, they had to pull out existing grass and trees and then install new trees, sod, extend my rock wall, build a planter, create a stamped concrete walkway going to the side gate and create stamped concrete steps going up to the front door. They also installed stamped concrete and trees around the edge of the sidewalk, and a border around the grass. They installed a sprinkler and drip hose system. This was a lot of work and they completed the project within 2 weeks! The yard looks amazing and I am so happy with everything."

"Our dishwasher was installed incorrectly and some of the trim needed to be sanded down for it to fit properly. Bourbon Barrel Woodworks was able to do the job properly and smaller jobs in the kitchen as well at a fair price. He came when he said he would and everything was seamless. I would highly recommend."

"The team at Medina's Construction was exactly what I needed. They communicated early and often as needed. They were very friendly, professional, and hard working. They encountered some issues with the walls, but showed patience and creativity in solving all issues. They also cleaned up before finishing the job. They went above and beyond my expectations. If I have any other projects I would hire them again and I would also recommend them to others."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
