"John did a great job replacing parts of an old fence while also building a new one. The job was done in a reasonable time and would recommend to others."
"I hired Mitch Mckague /Bend Labor Trade,to replace an old deck. He did such a fantastic job I asked him to do the other deck,next summer. I then asked him to replace a broken door on my garage, install a pre-made counter top in the bathroom, window and door frames through out the house. Build a fence into my garden area, cut down limb up and chip some small juniper trees. He also helped me stack 4 cords of wood and split some of the larger pieces. The latest project involved removing a old chicken shed, and cleaning out the lean to attached to the garage then putting clear corrugated around the sides. He is a very personable gentleman, keeps me informed on when he is arriving and the progress of the project. He is also willing to let me know if he cannot do one of my projects, and may know someone else who can. I will continue to hire him as long as I keep coming up with more projects."
"Ian Douglass's work surpassed our expectations. Not only was he very professional, diligent and meticulous from the onset to delivery, but he also provided impressive creative input into the design of our finished deck. Ian delivered his work on time and was always available for any questions throughout the process. We are very happy with our finished deck and highly recommend him both as a professional, as well as the superior quality of his custom design carpentry."
"I had a client who wanted their window replaced with glass block. It is not a common installation these days but Demren was confident he was able to it and did it with a smile on his face. He was even graceful when there was a mishap with materials being delayed and came back to complete the work without a problem. The window looks great and both the client and I are very happy with the results. In most cases carpentry is one part skill and the other is being creative and intuitive in problem solving. Demren has no doubt an eye for detail and a very diverse set of skills. Highly recommended."
"Pascal built custom cabinets on either side of our family room fireplace. He listened to what we described and built exactly what we imagined. He is so exact in what he does and we so appreciated his professionalism and preciseness. Would highly recommend him for any custom cabinets that need building...On top of that...He is just a wonderful person! Thank you Pascal!!"

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.
Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.
The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.
No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
