"Jon was very friendly and professional, in the framing of this custom home. All of the work was very precise, and if a question came up, he would contact me for information so that it was done correctly. I was very pleased with the work that was done, and enjoyed working with John and his crew."

"My wife and I hired Auxilium Construction to do some repairs and renovations around my house, and I was very impressed by the work. Brandon and Eli are professional, courteous, and efficient. They did a great job with everything I asked them to do, from fixing a damaged fence to interior design improvements, painting and staining a pergola, and more. They are affordable and presented me with a fair estimate before starting the work. They showed up on time every day and finished the project ahead of schedule. The company is extremely conscientious and even went above and beyond by fixing some minor issues that I overlooked before. They are very easy to communicate with and always answer my calls and texts promptly. I would highly recommend Auxilium Construction to anyone who needs a top-notch handyman service. Brandon and Eli deserve five stars for their excellent work!"

"Rory Stout Construction is Amazing! Rory is very personable with a great sense of humor! My husband and I hired him to build a pergola for our existing deck and he did a fantastic job! His attention to detail is top-notch and his suggestions for what works were well received. We also had him add pull-down screens to block the sun and added railings to both ends of the deck. We are extremely pleased with his work and the total cost was within our budget. We would certainly recommend Rory to anyone! Heâ  s great!"

"We hired Maven to build a cover for our patio. They were very reliable, always came to work when they said they would and there were no surprises on cost during the build. We thought they were very reasonable. Both Aaron and Jordan were friendly and very pleasant to work with, we would definitely hire Maven again! And now we have a beautiful covered patio for us and our dogs!"

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 primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
