Customers say: Quality work

"This was an overall fantastic experience. Our trouble started with water damage in October 2020. We could not find the source of the damage and spent literally 3 months hiring plumbers, roofers, leak locators etc. to find the source but no one could. Even the insurance adjuster was stumped. Eventually I found a contractor recommended by a friend who said he could make the repairs but after a few weeks he stopped returning my calls. I called Tony Ratliff based solely on the recommendations I found online (Thank you Angie's List!!). That was my lucky day. He came over, looked at the damage, figured out the cause (from pressure washing outside the house) and said "We can take care of this" and then he did. I worked with Tony for about two weeks to get all the repairs done and he earned my respect and trust. I completely trust not just him but anyone he has working for him. He only works with the best. All of his employees/sub contractors were professional, polite, and left the workspace super clean each day. They all worked to help my family of four live our lives as normal as possible during a big project. I was kept informed and updated and asked for approval at each step. For some of the repairs Tony offered several options and explained the pros and cons of each one. Tony also saved money without sacrificing quality. His flooring guy matched my hand scraped hardwood floor exactly, without the need for refinishing the undamaged part of the floor. Tony also explained how he could repair the damage to my fireplace surround and the built-in without tearing them out completely and replacing them. This saved us time and money and was less wasteful. When certain needed items turned out to no longer be manufactured Tony found replacements or in one case had his carpenter make a piece for the fireplace. Now that everything has been repainted it looks exactly like it did before the damage. (The attached photo shows my fireplace after the repair -- all the hand scraped wood flooring visible is new, the columns on the fireplace were repaired, all visible trim was repaired or replaced and the sheetrock to the right was replaced.) I estimate Tony saved my family at least $8000-$10,000 on repairing these two rooms. I am so thankful that my original contractor ghosted me and I found Tony Ratliff."

"My rental property was left in terrible condition. Freelance United took full control of the situation and brought my rental home back to life. Sam from Freelancd United was very thorough from beginning to end which made the process easy. Pricing was good; I knew I made the right decision when they worked around my price range. The house has now gone up in value thanks to Sam and the Freelance United team. I will definitely be using them for all of my rental properties and home. The entire home was painted, cabinets painted, & installed new kitchen counter tops."

Unfinished 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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.
