"After interviewing 8 contractors, Dorson Jackson was the obvious choice for our major project/home remodel, touching on every room in the house. From the very start, Dorson has been responsive & communicative, something rare and incredibly appreciated. He's not just a contractor, he's a businessman and understands the entirety of taking on a huge project for us. He dedicated an extraordinary amount of time for his bidding process, breaking the house down into zones, and then listing every single change, plus parts and labor fees for the changes, in every zone. Every other contractor gave us a one or two page bid with very few details. Dorson's proposal was a detailed 17 page document. He is EXTREMELY organized and we were super impressed with the effort he put into bidding the project. We have since hired Dorson Construction and he and his team have begun demolition. He also sent photos to us of every room in the house after demolition so we could see what he had done, what issues were found that he had prepared for as possibilities in his bid, and comments on each photo explaining what he saw after demo. Because we are not living locally, having someone we can trust with our home from far away is of the utmost importance. Dorson recently brought his son on board and we have been equally impressed with his follow up and thoroughness. In addition, Dorson has gone out of his way to help us with our permitting process, which is not part of his job and was only necessary due to failure of a third party. I can't wait to see the beauty and function he creates for us in our home to be! (Review will be updated upon project completion.) Thank you Dorson!"

"Paul is a highly skilled craftsman with a wealth of home construction experience. He is professional, thorough and attentive to the preferences of the homeowner. I have hired him three times now: once to reconnect the fan on a gas fireplace, once to order, install and program a complicated floor thermostat, and once to repair a leaking window and to refresh the weathered front exterior of the house. This required new shingles, new fascia, new trim boards, and new paint, including application to three decorative gables and a front door with sidelights and transom. I am pleased with the outcomes on all of these projects. I would hire Paul again to solve any future problems this aging property presents."

"We hired Western Builders Inc. for our bathroom remodel and they transformed it into a beautiful warm space filled with finish trim details and lighting, The remodel was quite heavy, needed lots of structural repairs from water leaks in the past the floor was collapsing in some areas, needed new plumbing, electrical, all the fixtures bigger window, added dividing wall with pocket door and lots more, they exceeded our expectation, We are absolutely thrilled with the result and grateful for the excellent work and commitment, Sam the owner and Bill the onsite foreman are just a pleasure to work with, and their crew were very respectful and careful of our home during remodel, They adhered to the schedule and budget everything went like clockwork. We definitely recommend them to anybody for any type of remodel, kitchen or bathroom."

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
