"I hired Brandon to pour concrete for a retaining support for a rock facing on my block foundation and put a new roof on an out building. All work was done very professionally, on time, and at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend him. I am using him to put down new flooring in the near future."

"While Austin appears very young, he demonstrates great skills in his workmanship. He returns calls quickly and was very patient with us throughout the building process. We had him rebuild our front porch, tear down a small deck and stairs from the exterior side of our house. Working from just our verbal discussions, Austin built a new deck, three times bigger than the one he tore down, with 4ft wide stairs. The result was a beautiful sturdy deck and set of stairs we thoroughly enjoy."

"J & D Construction met and exceeded my expectations. They were professional and hard-working. From the original estimate to the final cleanup, the crew listened carefully and attended to all our concerns. We had some wind and hail damage but the roof is fairly new. We had other roofers who looked at the roof and recommended everything from simply reattaching loose shingles to a complete roof replacement. J & D replaced all ridge vents and caps and hip caps, as well as individual damaged shingles and verified condition of chimney flashing and vent boots. Therefore we were able to extend the life of the roof for a very reasonable price. We have a steep and complicated roof, yet the crew seemed comfortable in working in those conditions. They protected plantings and other structures in the demolition phase and carefully searched for any stray nails that might become a problem in the surrounding areas. Therefore we feel confident in giving them they highest recommendation. Betty Ragland"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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 frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
