"I can’t recommend Farzad highly enough! He completely transformed my home from top to bottom. He installed beautiful new flooring throughout the house, replaced all of the windows, and completely remodeled my bathrooms. Every part of the project was completed with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Farzad was professional, reliable, and easy to work with from start to finish. He communicated clearly throughout the entire process, showed up when he said he would, and made sure everything was done the right way. His work exceeded my expectations, and the finished result has completely changed the look and feel of my home. If you’re looking for an honest, skilled, and dependable contractor who truly takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Farzad. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for future projects. Thank you for the incredible work!"

"Jesse did a great job installing the under cabinet lighting I got my wife as a present. He installed the new LED under kitchen cabinet lights which included installtion of the low voltage transformer/converter and light switch/dimmer. His experience was evident with his selection of dimmer switch location and optimum running of wiring to cover both sides of the kitchen cabinets."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
