"Fantastic! Jason answered our phone call immediately about repairing and staining our deck and was over that evening to give us a quote. He was so helpful in answering all of our questions and ensuring our deck was going to be safe to use for the upcoming warmer months as we just moved into our new house. After one week of receiving the quote, Jason and Tanner began working on the deck and the job was done beautifully in just three days. I wish I could upload pictures on here for the before and after because it does not look like the same deck. My husband and I could not be happier with the result and cannot wait to use our "new" deck! We would highly recommend Jason and his team!"

"Moses was great! He exceeded my expectations in staining and sealing my deck. Shows up when he says he will. He offered to do additional touch ups at not additional charge. It's great to have someone with that kind of work ethic. I highly recommend MJ Remodeling and Carpentry. He also knows a lot of other highly qualified handyman if you have something around the house that needs a qualified handyman. His prices are very reasonable."

"This is my first experience with this company. Excellent work! I will call upon them again. Joe replaced my rotten front door frame, sealed and painted it. My front door was a real eyesore before and now it is beautiful!"

"This company was so fast to get me a quote. Communicated throughout the entire process but most of all did a GREAT job. They came back a second time to repair the fence doors as well. I wish I had contracted them initially to install the fence around my property! Thank you to the team!"

"Excellent, professional and courteous. No need to look any further for pressure washing jobs. Afterward, i asked them to put together an estimate to pressure wash our farm fence that’s due for painting in the spring."

"Southern Bell was great to work with! They helped us plan and replace our old deck with a new covered and screened in deck. We liked working with them so much that we also hired them to replace our roof and exteriors doors. They were efficient and used high quality materials. Our contractor and/or the owner came to inspect the project multiple times during the process and make sure we were happy with everything. Our new deck is perfect and we love spending time outside now. Thank you!"

"Allen is a quality home repair/renovation professional. He handled multiple home repairs for me in a single contract. The work involve repair of water damage around a chiminey leak, including demolition of damaged ceiling, plaster work, repair replacement of hole in ceiling, and repainting repaired areas to match. He also repaired/replaced a broken window, and patched holes in plaster walls related to plumbing repairs. Finally, he replaced external siding on my formers that had been left exposed by a previous contractor. Allen brought the projects in on time and within the budget he submitted for the project. The quality of his work was excellent and his prices were reasonable. I am lining him up for my next projects. You should too."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
