"This was a major remodel project with complete redo of dining room, two living areas, master bedroom and bath (most of the first floor of our two story home). After attempting to get several bids for the work we chose Gill Construction for their timely response, reasonable prices and highly personal approach. We had used them for an addition to our home 10 years ago and had remembered what a positive experience we had then. From the very first meeting with Jerry and Mickey we were impressed with their professionalism, creativity and obvious interest in our project. We were especially pleased when the subcontractors were brought in during the estimate process which gave me great comfort in the validity of the bid. Jerry came back 3 times to make sure all areas were covered and then provided a detailed quote. (I will say that the other companies I tried were slow in getting back or very high in their quote. ) Our project started on the date chosen and we also agreed to a completion date i(as we all know, these jobs can often drag on.... more on that later). From the very first day, the Gill crew showed up on time and worked diligently. There was a steady flow of workers and I never had to call and ask where somebody was or if someone was going to show up. There had obviously been a focused effort on coordinating each step of the work. I was in constant communication with Mickey throughout the job and cannot say enough about how well he keep me informed and updated on what to expect. Every time he said someone would be there, they were!! This was such a nice part of the experience. We have done other projects with other companies and I always seemed to be calling to ask why people were not showing up. Not so with Gill! And not only do they show up...the subs are all polite, professional and incredibly skilled craftsman! Even when we made some changes along the way (and we made several!), they were quick to accommodate and made sure we were happy with every choice and decision. They also did an amazing job keeping up with daily clean up and keeping the house livable for us. And finally, everything was completed a full week ahead of schedule!!! That is unheard of in my experience! Though I know they had other projects going, we never felt like we were not getting their full attention. And we never felt like they were rushing through just to meet a deadline. We could not be more proud of the finished product or more impressed with Gill Construction! We truly have a transformed home with beautiful, high quality, unique ,custom features that absolutely exceeded our expectations. Jerry and Mickey were involved every step of the way and have a true commitment to customer satisfaction. There is no question where we will turn for any future home projects. (I won't waste my time trying to get bids from any others.) If you are looking for a reputable, trustworthy, and price competitive contractor, do yourself a favor and give them a call! These guys will do it right! I would definitely add a few +++ to that overall A rating!!"
"Excellent work, affordable, reliable, and easy to work with. I recommend them for any job big or small. By far, Radiant Builders is the best Contractor to use for your home projects in Lubbock!"
"Mr. Pena has been far more responsive that I've experienced with other contractors in Lubbock. His person installed the deck boards and there were a few that were less than ideal. I pointed them out and he agreed and fixed them within 24 hours. He is very responsive, always has ideas to improve the project and as a result it feels more like a partnership that a contractor relationship.As a result of his quality we've moved from a small job to over $15K of work."
"I have had over 30 contractors at my home as it has been basically rebuilt. This company has been the most professional i have dealt with. Showed up on time, communicated progress, cleaned up at the end of each day COMPLETELY, came with all necessary tools and supplies. Along the width of the house, all of the walls were removed from the floor to aprox 2 feet. Lower portion of studs and base plates removed, walls sealed with amazing product, studs, base plate and walls replaced (not the sheetrock). All lower level floors sealed. We have had over 5" of rain in the last 24 hours. This is the first time since i have owned this house that the floors have not flooded when we have saturated soil and heavy rain. Incredible product, excellent company. i highly recommend both. "

"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
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.
When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
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.
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.
