"We hired RP FAM LLC this past summer to remodel our kitchen, bathroom, and hardwood floors, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Leo and Carlos were professional, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. Their honesty and integrity gave us total peace of mind, and their quality of work exceeded our expectations. We started with a bathroom remodel, loved their work, and ended up doing the kitchen and most of our hardwood floors too. Everything turned out beautiful! We’re already planning for them to come back in the spring to rebuild our three-tier deck. Highly recommend RP FAM LLC for anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and honest contractors."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
