"Marinda came to my home and was very professional and listened to my needs and concerns for my project. She even suggested options I had not considered that I loved. Her pricing was reasonable and I loved that she sent me a sketch of her ideas so I could visually imagine the finished project. She was the only one who did that and followed up a few times, but did not bug me. Definitely a good company to reach out to if you are considering a remodel."

"Cesar did an awesome job! He removed three large concrete footings left from some old fence posts, and then installed three new 4x4 fence posts with new concrete footings. He gave me a bid, started that same day, and then finished on the second day. I couldn't have been more pleased. He works hard, is honest and reliable. Thank you Cesar!"

"Checked and adjusted the threshold on front door, advised us to get thicker, high quality weatherstripping for side that light shines through. We did the weatherstripping ourselves since it was easy to measure, cut and fit into slot in door frame. Will definitely rehire for other jobs."

"Project was to extend existing deck to enable a hot tub install. Included digging and pouring footings, framing deck, reinforcing joists, laying additional decking, installing 12x12 posts and railing. Dan was excellent in all aspects - clear communication, upfront pricing/quotes, excellent work. We decided to do this late in the season - Dan made it happen. Could not be more pleased with how it turned out."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.
