"Greg was meticulous and did an absolutely beautiful job installing Beadboard with a top chair rail in our front hall. His work was so good that my very picky husband asked him to come back and do our mud room also. Greg came with his son Jacob. They were prompt, efficient, and trustworthy. We highly recommend them, and will definitely use them again for future projects in our home."

"Arron, the owner was very easy to work with and very professional He and his crew showed up on time and got the job done in a timely manner. We have a log home that needed to be stained and sealed and intercession solutions did a very good job. The stain and trim paint were the wrong color ( my fault) and Aaron took it back and made us very happy with the next colors we chose no fuss no attitude overall it was a very good experience and I would recommend this company for any remodeling needs"

"We recently had our deck replaced and couldn’t be happier with the results! Rob was the main person on the project and came by every day. He was professional, hardworking, and very respectful. Although it was supposed to be a two-man job, some issues came up and Rob ended up working solo for a couple of days, which made the project take a bit longer. Even so, he handled everything really well and made sure the quality was top-notch. The deck looks amazing, and I would definitely use Rob again in the future. Highly recommend!"

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. 

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.
