"Six months ago, I would have given StarTech 5 stars for everything, and I am happy to be able to reinstate that rating. There was a problem with the connection on the water heater that ended up ruining it. Yes, it took some calls, but Luis finally replaced the water heater, for free. He is an honorable contractor."

"After having a TERRIBLE experience with a Lowes Contractor I needed to get the job done! Brenda was exceptionally easy to schedule with and quoted a very reasonable price for the job. Not only did Raul and his team arrive prepared but they were early and got the job done in under an hour... this is a job that the lowes contractor has had since April to do! Save yourself the hassle and use Premier the first time!!! The guys were efficient, courteous and even cleaned up during and after the job!! A++++"

"It went great. Sean and his team were very professional. I needed to add something to the project and Sean included it smoothly along with the rest of the bathroom renovation. I would definitely hire Sean for all my indoor and outdoor projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
