"After considering many options for re-doing our existing natural oak kitchen cabinets, we hired Vitaliy to paint them white. We used all our original cabinets and doors, except that he suggested installing larger crown modeling, which made a huge difference in the appeal of our kitchen. He also suggested bumping out the cabinet above our microwave, which also added much character. As a part of the process, he switched all doors to hidden, soft close hinges, and installed soft close mechanisms on all drawers. Finally, we asked him to install pull-outs on a couple of our lower cabinets. He did a tremendous job, and it was so affordable that we also had him re-finish our fiberglass front door to match our overhead garage doors, finish and install new bi-fold doors in our entryway, and refinish a window seat in one of our bedrooms. We are very picky, and asked Vitality to make some minor adjustments and touch-ups to the work, which he did wonderfully, and to our total satisfaction. Vitaliy provides a tremendous combination of quality work and affordability. We are so very thankful that we found him!"
"I never contacted the provider or used this service in anyway. I have to write this review so that the request to write this review stops popping up. The rating is bogus as it is required to be able to submit. "
"He did everything from putting up walls, insulation, flooring, tiling walls bathrooms. He did really good. He came back to fix some things but that was because my wife changed her mind but great job!"
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.
While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.
When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
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.
Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
