"Bryce Dineen and his crew from BD Fence Solutions definitely get 5 stars from us. Bryce immediately returned my phone call and came the next day to look at what we needed and discuss the job. His crew removed and replaced 320' wooden horse fence , saved and neatly stacked the old wood for us. They them removed and replaced 3 decks that had been destroyed by snow and ice. This team was professional and friendly the entire time that they were here, checking with us along the way to be sure they were doing what we wanted and being very willing to make any changes or additions that we wanted. Their work was beautiful, their clean up meticulous. We will most definitely use them again for any future projects and highly recommend them"

"We couldn’t be happier with our custom dining room table and bench! The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the finished piece fits our dining room perfectly. The quality exceeded our expectations, and you can tell a lot of care and attention to detail went into making it. It has completely transformed the space, and we’ve received so many compliments. We highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for a custom, high-quality piece of furniture!"

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
