At Vanguard Construction customer satisfaction is our #1 goal. Clear communication, honesty, and integrity are the stepping stones that will pave the way to a 100% satisfactory job, every time. With over 30 years of construction experience we are eager to provide you with the work you need, and the peace of mind you want.

"Here?s a condensed version under 999 characters while keeping it natural and personal: --- Vanguard Construction did an amazing job transforming my garage into a high-tech office and workshop. It started as an old, uninsulated space with outdated paneling, but they completely gutted, insulated, and upgraded everything. They brought in an electrician to install a dedicated subpanel, 12 lights, 18 outlets, and a 240V outlet, ensuring I had power where I needed it. They also installed security cameras, motion lights, and outdoor outlets. They framed and soundproofed a wall to separate my laundry area, added French double doors, and finished with carpet tile. Their transparency was outstanding?they broke down every cost, kept me informed, and even refunded me $800 from the material budget. They put time and care into every detail, and I?ll be hiring them again soon. If you want quality work from an honest, detail-oriented team, hire this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
