"We hired Mahoneyà  à ¢à  à  à  à  s Services for a bathroom remodel to bring our outdated 1990à  à ¢à  à  à  à  s bathroom into the current century. Weà  à ¢à  à  à  à  ve worked with them several times before and had them install a deck, a fence, and help with a kitchen refresh. Weà  à ¢à  à  à  à  ve always found them to be reliable and professional and knew that theyà  à ¢à  à  à  à  d be up to the task. We told Alex what look we were going for and he was prompt and fair with his estimate, and he took care of ordering everything that we would need. Once demolition started we found out that it would be a little tougher and more extensive than originally anticipated. Alexà  à ¢à  à  à  à  s crew, Tim & Vinny, worked hard to get everything out and stay on schedule. Nearly 100 years of old materials (including 3 layers of flooring) were gone in a couple of days. Within 2 1/2 weeks of starting, everything was installed and ready to go. They did everything themselves (demolition, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, paintingà  à ¢à  à  à  à ¦everything). Makes things much easier than dealing with several different people. These guys are professional, polite, and clean. They will let you know exactly when they plan on showing up and are true to their word. They worked through horrible weather and subzero temps and hauled away everything that was torn out as well as all packing materials. We canà  à ¢à  à  à  à  t say enough about their professionalism and work ethic, and look forward to working with them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.
