"Darrin was incredibly responsive. We needed a very large refrigerator moved into our kitchen from a ramp adjacent to our house as soon as possible (our current fridge had failed with no recourse for repair, and we had hundreds of $$ of food standing by in a large ice chest). He was able to come within 90 mins of our "cold" calling him, & was very knowledgeable, fast and expert at securing the replacement to an appliance cart we provided & navigating up a double-back ramp behind out house, into side entrance and past a very narrow space into our kitchen. This required removing side entrance door from its hinges, and removing fridge doors (and then replacing once positioned in the kitchen), which he did expertly and quickly. Darrin was very friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and fast. We learned he also does carpentry work, and given his excellent work will reach out to him for a project we will have in the spring once the weather warms up. Would highly (highly) recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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 cost to install a bow window can range from $1,500 to $15,000, with a national average of $3,900. The total price includes materials, which can cost between $1,200 and over $14,000, and labor, which typically adds $300 to $1,900. Several factors influence the final cost, including the window's size and frame material. For example, vinyl frames are the most budget-friendly option, while wood frames are more expensive. Custom features or energy-efficient upgrades will also increase the price. For comparison, a bay window installation typically costs between $1,000 and $7,000.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
