"DJ was professional and polite from start to finish. The morning I was looking for a job to be done he came and looked at it and gave me a quote. He gave me the time frame he could have the job done and he stuck to his word. His work is meticulous. He cleaned everything up when he was done and left nothing behind. I have already given his number out to a couple people. It's very hard to find somebody as hard working and professional as this person. He gets five stars all the way around. I needed boards replaced on my deck."

"Steve and Justin were very professional and did quality work. They had a challenge, since the one area was on a slope along the side of the church building that needed repaired. They had to build a support plank to do the work. A few days earlier they needed a bucket lift to do another area. They removed all debris and did an excellent job, overall. Would highly recommend."

"They pretty much rebuilt the entire porch. It looks fantastic, I couldn't be happier with it. From start to finish, I told Don I wanted his expertise in making it look and function right, and he was very thoughtful and creative in how this build would affect the future plans for the house and the longevity and quality of the overall construction. The crew and himself were always respectful, honest people - exactly who I trust my life with the construction of my home and being around my family and valuables to. Thank you so much Don and crew of Hillside, I can't wait to have more of your help over the next several years to come!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

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 cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
