"Very pleased with Derek's work! He responded promptly to my call and gave a fair quote. He was super kind in accommodating my quick need to have my kitchen cabinets repaired and did a fantastic job. Will hire him again for other upcoming projects! Very hard to find a skilled professional like Derek."

"Great experience with Hepp Landscaping! Brandon had a great plan to replace the old landscaping in the back of our home. The crew that came to work on our yard was professional and tidy. They made sure we were happy with all the plant placement before they started. Even added a couple of plants for us at the last minute, and completed the job in the time frame promised."

"Corey and his wife are courteous, skilled, and diligent workers. They made clear in writing exactly what they would do to resurface our deck and make the stairs safe. The estimate of cost was reasonable and fair. Corey solved one unforeseen problem in our deck stairs without raising the price. He and his assistant/wife work quietly and efficiently, and they cleaned up well after the job was done. The only sign that they had been there was a little sawdust in the back yard. We would hire him again â and hope to, as home-maintenance problems arise. Corey has the good, old-fashioned American work ethic. He takes pride in his work. Also heâ s easy to communicate with by phone. Five stars!"

"Hires NGI Elite to build me a deck with a roof over it. Tito, George and the remainder of the NGI Elite team were very friendly and kept in close communication with their plans for the project as it continued, recommended minor adjustments to the plan as we went along which helped and they cleaned up the site upon finishing. They let me know ahead of time when they d need to get in the house to complete necessary project work and cleaned up after themselves. Have recommended them to coworkers and would recommend them to family/friends as well. Very satisfied with the quality of work."

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
