"Total Glassworks did a fantastic job fixing a glass shower door that had come out of its frame. I had three companies come out, and they were the most knowledgeable and also gave me the most options, from repair to replacement. The job was done quickly and they communicated really well. We'll do a remodel in the future, and they have our business when that happens."

"From the moment of our first contact with Integrated Outdoor Designs to the completion of a complicated project, three months later, everything was handled seamlessly with great professionalism, efficiency, and excellence. They designed a product that more than met our needs, cleared all our documents with our POA, always announced when they were coming and came and worked efficiently and cleaned up afterward. We are now enjoying a great enhancement of our property. Our project included expanding our deck, building a stairway, building a garden house and building a fire pit circular area."

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
