"The crew of Prime Construction did a fantastic job on replacing my old wood deck with a new composite deck. They worked through some of the coldest days of December and January building new footers, framing, and custom cutting and placing the boards. I would recommend using them for any of your future construction needs."

Swifthand Painting Company sent their team on time and quickly inspected the building and did a great job. We are glad to have found them! We will use Swifthand Painting again in the future."

"Leonard and Katrina at Traveling Hope have been an absolute gift to our family. They’ve done everything for us—electrical work, drywall, carpentry, and even laying an entire foundation wall—and every single job was done with excellence. Their craftsmanship is solid, their communication is clear and consistent, and their pricing is more than fair. No surprises, no cutting corners—just honest, high-quality work from people who genuinely care. Beyond the skill, they’re just good humans. Reliable, trustworthy, and truly invested in doing things the right way. We love them and are incredibly grateful for all they’ve done for us. If you’re looking for contractors you can actually trust, Traveling Hope is it. 🙌 - Sal"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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. 

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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, 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.
