"Ian from Rettle Enterprise was very professional. When I called him, he came. He looked at the work and gave me an estimate for both times. And when he started the work, he kept me posted -- constantly kept in touch with me. When the work was finished, it was excellent. I was very happy. I'm actually contacting him again for another work at my house. I recommend him highly."

"Chris and his team did an excellent job in hauling away our yard waste. I called on a Monday and they were here on Tuesday. We HIGHLY recommend them! It was a blistering hot and humid morning and they filled a trailer that was at least 20’ long 10’ wide and 6-7’ high. GREAT GREAT JOB!"

"I had the pleasure of working with NYZ Contractors represented by Rishi and his team. They delivered excellent results. They were cost effective, professional, and completed the renovation on time. I was very happy with the work they had done. They are dedicated, professional, thorough, accommodating, responsive, hardworking, committed to excellence and nice! I always breathe a sigh of relief when I know I will be working with NYZ Contractors because I know that they will act as an ambassador for my interests and never let me down. The kitchen area was renovated, floors replaced, and apartment painted. New house – new life. Thank you NYZ Contractors for helping my dreams become a reality!"

"Prompt communication, accurate estimate and schedule, job well done! This was a smooth process with great communication and attention to detail the whole way through. Kevin came out quickly with his drywall pro to give an estimate, provided a detailed estimate, and was able to adjust the schedule to add in some electrical work that we wanted. They started the job on time and completed it in the window we scheduled. There was a very minor detail that needed looking into after the job was complete and they handled it perfectly the next day. The quality of the work was great -- they tore down and replaced a ceiling. We've worked with other contractors and handyman services for small and big jobs and this company is one we'd definitely work with again (which we can't say about others)."

"Guy is a true professional. We shopped around and he came in very competitive to others. The crew was careful moving our furniture and finished the job on time. I was amazed at how CLEAN they were. The crew was constantly cleaning as they worked. I couldn't be happier with the finished results. Would definitely recommend!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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 deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
