"Greg and his nephew installed new cabinets, beadboard, trim and a chandelier dimmer switch. The price was fair, and their work is precise. They are very professional and courteous. They brought my wife's design vision to life, and we're very pleased with the results. We're looking forward to the next project. Thanks again."

"The wood decking on our front porch was in bad shape. Brandon replaced the boards where necessary, sanded, and painted. It turned out great! Will definitely hire again."

"I had a great experience with Hodgson Homes from start to finish. The installation was done cleanly and efficiently, and the crew was respectful of the space throughout the process. Scott was very professional and communicative. He kept me informed every step of the way and made sure everything was done to my expectations, including adding an additional gate on the side that was not in the original quote and changing hardware as needed. He also helped communicate with some neighbors questioning property lines in a way that helped rather than hindered the process. The final result looks fantastic, and I'm really happy with the quality of the work. My dog is also quite happy with his new play area 😋 Highly recommend!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

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.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

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.
