"Armando is a professional. He does what he says he is going to do and when he says he is going to do it. He did demo, built new cabinets and took care of granite counters and splashes. He also helped me find some of the other subcontractors to do my complete kitchen, dining room remodel. He also refinished my oak front door and made it look brand new. Very happy with our beautiful kitchen. I would recommend Armando to anyone."

"Their work was fabulous. They cleaned up behind themselves every day before leaving. They were hard working even in the heat! But the best thing is they listened to what I said and made suggestions that helped me see what my deck would look like. Just the best people ever! I will be using them again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
