"Brandon did a great job finishing my waterproof laminate floor! He was on time, trustworthy, polite, had good recommendations, and was able to finish early so I could get my house back in order! If you want a fair price and a good job, go with Trade-Worx."

"We hired Marci to do some drywall repair. It sustained water damage as a result of a water leak. From day one Marci did not disappoint. He stayed in constant contact, quoted a great price, showed up to do the work when he said he would and did Oustanding work! Marci was also very professional and respectful to our guests. We would absolutely recommend him to others looking to have projects completed. Kevin-Sevierville"

"Stephen was communicative and reasonably priced. He remodeled both bathrooms and some of the kitchen and bathroom in about 3 or4 weeks mostly by himself. He made recommendations for products for the remodel so that I could not only save money, but make my home look nice. Highly recommended and would hire him again for another remodel."

"Austin responded quickly to our request for a quote and after we hired him he communicated daily during the project. The covering he built for our deck is great and we were very pleased with his work. We would definitely hire him for another project!!"

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.
