"We are super pleased with recent home renovations Trey and his team at CMT Construction did for us. Ceiling repairs were done with extra care to identify and address the root cause for the leaks coming from an attic vent. Pressure tested and real-world rainstorms proved their quality work. A combination of new window sash kits for severely damaged windows and repairs to others helped save us money. Fresh paint, caulking and wood repairs have our 19 year old house looking new again. The crew was very professional, punctual and communicated very well with us. It took about 5 days to get everything done, and we were kind of sad when it was time for the guys to wrap things up. We found CMT through an Angi bid and are so glad we picked these guys for the best combo of value, quality and timing. We would recommend them to others and are planning more painting and remodeling jobs with CMT."

"So pleased with the whole experience. I was moving in to a "new" house which was decorated in colors not of my taste. I found Riggins Painting on Angie's List and hired them. The reviews were correct. These guys were great. Austin came out to walk the house with me and the painters started a couple of days later. There was a little hitch on the first day but the crew worked through the weekend to make sure that my finish deadline was met. They were so accommodating with a special request that I had and when it turned out that there was additional unplanned work to do and when I decided on the last day that I hated the bathroom color and asked them to redo it in another color. The crew was great. So polite, so easy to work with. I will definitely use them again when I do the rest of the house."

"The company was professional, service was timely. The owner called me that day and sent a tech out the same day to get my project done. It turned out really nice. Will definitely use the company again for future projects!"

"Chris and his team are as good as it gets. They are everything you want in a contractor: honest, fair, on time, hard working, accessible, reasonably priced, etc. Prodigy has expertise in hardie board and cedar siding. They completed the job in 3 days when I believe it would have taken most crews 1 or 2 days longer. Chris communicated with me all along the way and never left me guessing about anything. This is a first class business and I highly recommend them!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

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. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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.
