"Working with Arturo was great until it wasn't. Once I decided to hire him, he was transparent, thorough, and communicative and he ended up doing a LOT of work around the house. He did a pretty good job - he mostly did it all himself, but he would bring in other people to help if they were available. Because of this, the process took a lot longer and working with the other contractors (electrical, countertops) he brought in got a little confusing because he wasn't necessarily taking the lead on the work, or we were unable to speak directly with the contractors. The epoxy countertop people had to come back and re-do three different times because they did not set - so the counters are sticky and when you set anything on the counters, it becomes imprinted on the counters. After the work was done and we waited one more week to see if the counters settled, there was STILL an issue with the counters. Arturo also broke a window while he was working at the house, and promised he would fix it, but never did. We called Arturo for MONTHS after he was finished, and he kept promising that he would come back (he lives out of state, and splits time between two states, so this made him unreliable), but he never did. So now, we have counters that we are unhappy with that we will have to contract out for someone else to fix, and we will have to fix our own window. Unfortunately, we paid him already and didn't have a formal contract, so we are out of luck with Arturo. I thought that we had a good relationship with Arturo, and I am really surprised he just ghosted us, because he was professional until the job was over. I thought I could trust him with verbal agreements, but I was wrong."
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.
Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
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.
Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
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.
