"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."

Couldn't be more pleased by the quality of work and service provided by Brian from Riggins Painting.  I would highly recommend this contractor to any one looking for a painter.  Very Clean , arrived 10 minutes early ready to go to work.  When Chris looked at the job he thought it might take 2 days to complete, but Brian stayed focused and completed the job and was out the door by 4pm.  Excellent work.

"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 Arturo are both pleasant gentlemen to work with. They were punctual and worked very hard.  Chris expected the job to take 3 weeks, but it ended up only taking 2- which I was very happy with.  When they were finished Chris aked me if there was anything I wasn't happy with.  I noticed some slight bumps in one of the cabinet doors, and I was very hesitant to ask him to fix it because it was so minor.  But I did, and he took the doors home and resanded and painted the spots in question.  He went out of his way to ensure perfection and I appreciated that.   I am very please with how my kitchen cabinets look!!!

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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. 

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.
