"Very pleased with the quality of the work. We ended up replacing most of our existing fence and the overall job turned out very nice. They were more reasonable than the other fencing contractors that we received bids from. Will hire again for other projects at our house."

"Bridges was fast, quality work, good communication and they worked very well with their sub-contractors. When a task was completed, the next task started right away. Very little downtime. Items were addressed before they surfaced, they anticipated where decisions by the homeowner needed to occur and we made sure to keep things rolling."

"Great work the painters arrived on time, moved furniture and prepared room for painting. This room has cathedral ceilings and the accent wall we decided to add came out amazing. When the room was finished everything was cleaned up they even checked the room to make sure there were no drips then cleaned the floors before moving the furniture back in place. The room came out beautifully and I forgot to mention the previous owners had not painted in over 15 years but now the house looks great."

"Arrived promptly. Courteous, prepared and efficient. Estimate was reasonable and they kept to it. They removed a wall shelf with minimal damage. They then installed two wall cabinets in my laundry room. Perfect placement for the space. Finish work was very professional. I would definitely use them again! Plus, Juan and Guillermo are really nice guys!"

"I hired Rodrigo to add some supports to my floor joists running alongside a wall where it was sagging. The floor is sturdier than ever now, which is a huge relief. He was fair with pricing and got it done in a very timely manner. Very quick turnaround from estimate to job completion. Definitely going to reach out again for further projects down the road."

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
