"Andrew and Mike worked with me every step of the deck repair project and listened to what exactly I wanted and my budget limitations. They finished the work in about 3 days and made every effort to salvage as much of the usable material as possible, saving me a lot of money and even recommended tasks that I could do before they started the work to save on labor pay. They took really good care of me and I will trust them for future projects that I will need help with. Highly recommend"

"I hired Guys Unlimited 4 Rent after seeing the amazing Angie’s list reviews. And I met several times with Joseluis and Enrique before deciding to go with their bid. We agreed on a multi phased project to remodel our backyard patio, put in a stamped concrete slab, backyard office and foundation, replaced a door and an entire stone walkway on the side of the house. They completed everything in roughly 2.5 months and we are very pleased with the work. Very hard working guys and we had specialists in stone, granite, foundation, and framing/electrical/etc. all come in a different points to put their touch on it. The photos speak for themselves. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone and already have to friends and neighbors."

"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.

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
