"I have been a Texas Realtor® since 2008. Between that and being a homeowner as well as owning an investment property, I have had my share of interactions with many contractors. Sadly, more often than not, the "best" contractor you can find is only the "best" because they at least show up at some point and maybe take 50% of your calls. I can say that Galen Valadez and his crew at GR Valadez Construction are a cut way above the rest. I used them six months ago on a bathroom remodel in Seguin TX. My elderly father was at risk of falling when stepping in and out of his tub and desperately needed a step-in shower. Galen answered my phone call on the second ring. He showed up on time with his crew to access this project within 24 hours of that call, gave us a written quote immediately, and put us on the schedule. His crew showed up on time everyday, were very professional, and super courteous, which my 87 year old father and 83 year old mother just loved. GR Valadez Construction definitely under-promised and over-performed. Not only did they finish the job ahead of schedule, they also came in UNDER budget! I can say with the utmost honesty and sincerity that I have found possibly the most honest and dependable general contractor in Great State of Texas. Shop around if you must, but if you do not give GR Valadez Construction a crack at bat, you are making a huge mistake. You won't find an outfit that takes greater pride in their work!"

"The Basement Kings finished their LARGE job this morning, and I can’t praise them enough! They had a long, difficult job, but no complaints. When they discovered a problem, they fixed it. No problem, that’s their job. They found the water problem had a lot to do with drainage, so they worked outside in cold & rain & developed a system to carry water away from the house. That, to me, was over & above, but they said their main objective was to get & keep the basement dry, so they did what they had to do with no complaints. Now you can’t ask for better than that - they give their all! I am totally amazed!!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.
