I've run Deep Rooted Woodworking for the last 7 years. I design and build custom cabinets and furniture, bedroom and living room sets. I take great pride in my work, everything is done using traditional joinery and is built to last generations.

"Work was of very poor quality. Communication was poor. Job was stopped due to lack of trust in contractor’s ability of willingness to correct issues. The job was planned for 8 weeks, incomplete after 8 months. Contractor did not order all required parts before starting. Used lower quality materials than specified in contract. Non matching materials were also used. Wainscoting panels were poorly assembled with large gaps and nail holes visible throughout the work. Some panels were fastened with a single nail into drywall, and kept in place with caulking and paint. Drywall compound was used instead of an appropriate wood filler. Filler was not sanded and visible through paint. Paint heavily applied resulting in drips, runs and heavy orange peel texture. Molding turn-ins not installed. Stain work roughly applied with runs and over staining throughout. Lost trust in contractor. Poor communication throughout. Job remains incomplete."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
