Customers say: True professional

"At a time when fence contractors were hard to find, Chris and his crew worked through rain and on a short deadline imposed by my need to contain my dogs in a new yard, Chris built a masterful shadowbox fence which is admired by the neighbors, appreciated by us and well-tolerated by my canines, greyhounds who now have a yard to run in. Chris' communication throughout the project was excellent and his crew was highly professional. One or two minor repairs were handled quickly and with a smile, one was seemingly completed overnight. I recommend CDJ highly and look forward to hiring them for future projects."

"Brandon was great. Very professional and courteous. Pricing seemed fair. Would have used them but we received an offer on our house As-Is. I would consider Freedom Contractor for future projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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 convert a carport into a garage averages about $22,000, ranging from about $15,000 and $55,000. Additional cost factors to consider include size, time of year, and how much of the carport you can reuse. Other cost factors include the kinds and amounts of materials used, such as:

  • Add insulation: $1 per square foot

  • Add drywall: $1–$3 per square foot

  • Add window: $450–$2,000 per window

  • Add outlets: $75–$500

  • Add garage door: $250–$11,200

  • Enclose framing: $5–$13 per square foot

  • Replace roofing: $1,000–$2,000

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
