"From the start, Be Blessed Remodeling (Rob) was the only contractor that quoted our project who left us feeling hopeful and excited for our project to begin. We wanted to change the floor plan of our bathrooms to allow for more space in the master. While other contractors wanted to talk us out of this change, Rob improved on our idea, giving us two incredibly updated and beautiful bathrooms we now love. Both bathrooms feel spacious and Rob did it in just about four weeks. Rob was a delight to work with. His communications skills far exceeded our expectations and those of any other contractor we’ve worked with in the past. He was happy to talk us through any decisions we had yet to make and explained everything in full detail. We were able to trust him and his workers in our home while we were away some days. We were even pleasantly surprised by how well he and Cody cleaned up after the project was finished. We absolutely recommend Rob to anyone looking to complete a home project — large or small. We know we will be hiring him again in the future!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.
