"Excellent. Honest and quick work. Mr. King was able to get someone out on short notice, to shim/shiv the piers. They performed a full scale cleanup last year, and I will only use Basement kings for any of my crawlspace work. Best in Texas!"

"Among Rebath of Austin,Statewide and Lowe's, I finally chose Rebath of Austin for my master bathroom remodeling project after long time and careful comparisions of pricing, design etc. My master bathroom did not have a tub and I need a soking tub for helping my prostate healthy. So I had Rebath of Austin convert my existing shower and one small closet into a big Japanese soaking tub and a very confortable shower area. Yesterday Rebath of Austin team well finished all the items and did excellent jobs for my master bathroom remodeling. I am very happy and very satisfied with Rebath of Austin whole team's excellent great jobs: --Josh--Excellent company president & designer, I am specially satisfied with his excellent designs for my big Japanies soaking tub area with three beautiful steps. --Matt--Excellent overall production manager who was easy to communicate and always can satisfied my expectations. --Dago--Very Excellent installer who was very easy to communicate and always came on time and did everything very carefully. I was happy to have Dago as this remodelling project installer. --Virgil--Excellent piping master who helped a lot for the piping jobs and did excellent jobs. --Colt--Excellent glass master who did excellent job for the glass door installation. --Mario--Excellent assistant for Dago. As I am very satisfied with the result and their lifetime warranty terms, I am now discussing with Josh for my another remodelling project. Thansk again for Rebath of Austing whole team's excellent job !!!"

Unfinished 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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
