"We needed a complete rebuild of our decks. (there were two ) and we contacted Rick’s Custom Fencing and Decking. We really appreciated Rick’s ability to change a somewhat complicated process into something that actually became a fun project. Miguel, Lane and Josiah were the builders and they were outstanding craftsmen."

"Adam with Elite Enclosures responded promptly with a quote for fence, gate & arbor replacement based on my texted dimensions & pictures. He got started right away & completed my project in 2 days - demo, haul-away & brand new fence, gate & arbor. The finished product exceeded expectations with great attention to detail & stellar craftsmanship. Adam was professional, responsive, great communication, efficient & skilled at his craft. I’d hire Elite Enclosures again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend."

"I looked everywhere to try and find someone that could build a Murphy bed for me (I had the hardware kit) and finally, I found Chris. This has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish! The communication was excellent. We talked over what I wanted and he made it happen. He also gave me some options that allowed me to save some money which I really appreciated when material prices kept going up. He was always considerate of my time as we tried to maneuver through my continually changing work schedules, etc. Honestly, I am so thrilled and it is even better than I imagined!"

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.
