"The project turned out great! Jim did a fantastic job of keeping me informed throughout the process and managed to beat the deadline by more than a week. We did have an issue with the toilet, but Jim found a solution without adding any additional costs! Overall we are extremely happy with the project and will high Contractors Group again when we finish our entire garage."

"James came into a difficult project, abandoned by another contractor, and in just two weeks accomplished more than we ever could have expected. His team is reliable and does great work. James also gave us some solid advice that helped us do what really needed to be done and saved us time and money. Highly recommend Elemental Design."

"The bathroom in our 1960s rental house had to be totally gutted down to the studs due to a water leak. I chose KM Home Improvement over three other contractors because Ali and his team thought of every detail and made excellent suggestions. After ordering all the fixtures and finishes, I had to fly home to Chicago, so for the entire length of the project, Ali and I communicated by phone. I totally trusted them with the project. They were reliable, professional, easy to communicate with, and the bathroom turned out absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend them to deliver an outstanding project. Thank you, Ali and team!"

"Sergio and Southern Bright Star are absolutely amazing. He is meticulous in his work and his work ethic is superb. We had a previous contractor who had done an unprofessional job and my bathroom was a mess. The floor was not put in properly. The drywall was incomplete, the toilet leaked as soon as they left and the painting was amateur at best. Southern Bright Star came in behind these glaring mistakes and carefully and methodically worked what seemed like a miracle. He did not leave until we were completely satisfied. I would highly and enthusiastically recommend him and his company with absolutely no reservation."

"Exemplary! Jason delivered based on his recommendations and suggestions for our damaged fence and deck. During a bad storm, a large tree fell on our wooden fence and deck. I found good reviews online about Jason Mechler of Golden Rule and hired him. He explained the scope of work for rebuilding and repairing our damaged property. He and his crew worked hard and we are pleased with the result. I am convinced Golden Rule contractors are the best in Nashville because of Jason's attitude, character and work ethic. His knowledge, professionalism and respectfulness set him apart from several other contractors that bid on this job. His price was competitive for the work that had to be done. If you want the job done right, hire Jason Mechler of Golden Rule. His expertise on fence and deck building and repair is valuable to homeowners who are met with the hard work and challenges of home maintenance and repair. He is undoubtedly one of the best in the Nashville area and in demand."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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.

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.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

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.
