"I had the team do some work for me a few months ago and they did superior work. This job was an exterior job. The estimate that was quoted was fair and they beat the timeliness as well. There were no issues with the work and they even pointed out some quality things that I overlooked. They will be my contractors moving forward on ANY job."

"Kerry Dixon did an outstanding job building out a room addition for us upstairs. This was an unused attic space that we turned into a craft room/office for my wife. Kerry added an egress and built a dormer coming out of the garage roof that looks like it was part of the original house. He listed to what we wanted which was to have the addition to look like the rest of the house including rounded corners. I would definitely recommend Kerry Dixon."

"The professionalism displayed by the entire staff was refreshing. When dates and time were set, they were prompt, courteous, informative and nice. Carol's knowledge and politeness was greatly appreciated. The recommendations for both Avani stone and the Tile Shop made for a well designed kitchen makeover. It would be best to find your own tile set person and plumber."

"Bought his coupon deal on Angie's list. Did superb work, cleaned up completely and all for a very reasonable price. But it took 2 or 3 days due to him showing up later in day and working late into evening whereas a crew would have been done in one day. Overall, outstanding work at a reasonable price and would hire again but only for small scale projects since he works by himself."

Unfinished 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.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.
