"After hiring Patrick last year to work on my fence, he was my first call when I needed work done on my patio. He ripped out the old outdoor carpet, then refinished, primed (two coats), and painted (three coats) the concrete patio. Patrick is a very conscientious worker, and make sure to keep you informed every step of the way. Iâ m very pleased with the work that heâ s done for me and will definitely hire him again as needs arise."

"TX Thunderbolt Fences did an amazing job on our fence, we also had them install a carport. Very high quality craftsmanship and they started the job and completed in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Carlos to build your fence or carport."

"I’ve had several custom closets built and installed over the past 20 years. Even though I was presented with a design, what I didn’t know was that a matching backboard wasn’t included in the price, nor was it disclosed that it would be an up-charge. Since I wasn’t there during and after the installation, I was dumbfounded by the exposed walls. His installer left fingerprints on the chrome bars which were cleaned up the following day. Since I broke the cardinal rule of don’t pay 100% before the end installation, this one is on me. Also, Don’t always trust a 100%, 5-star reviews. I’m giving them 3 stars for the quality of materials."

"Paul completed an entire reconstruction of our kitchen with custom cabinets, including wall removal and beam installation. We trusted him with our design, plumbing and electrical issues and he did an excellent job. Not only is he a master at his craft, he construes complete professionalism at all times. The thing that I appreciated most about Paul, was that he showed up. Every single day he was the first one here and the last to leave, along with his son, Justin. Not many general contractors hold themselves to that caliber. If we had any questions, concerns, or changes, they were addressed immediately and efficiently. He helped us think outside the box and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. He talked me off many a ledge and even helped me with paint colors. This was a lot of money for us but he made much less stressful than it could have been. I trusted him and his team and I'm so glad I did. 5 stars!"

"If you have a leaning fence or need it stained or a deck built these are the guys to hire. I did for all three of the above and they really know what they are doing. They basically dug under the entire fence, straightened and reconcreted the poles, then reattached the fence. Afterwards they powerwashed and stained the fence. Then they build my new deck. Work with a pro, Jaime is your guy!"

"Needed a barbed wire fence installed between my neighbor and I, with corner and center supports. Only about 230 total feet. Hector and his crew showed up that morning when promised and got to work. They finished that afternoon and the fence was perfect. They did an exceptional job! I would not hesitate to recommend HM Services! In fact I will be using them in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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.

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. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
