"Kelly did an excellent job for us updating two window seats and adding on some trim moldings. He fit us in his busy schedule and did a wonderful job. We appreciated the quality of his work at very reasonable prices. I would highly recommend him."

"Salt City Renovations is very easy to work with. Marinda is very professional, easy to work with and great with keeping us updated on the progress. During our remodel of our kitchen we had some family health emergencies to deal with, she was so understanding and helpful with sudden changes we had not planned on and helped us navigate the schedule shifts. We are very happy and pleased with our remodel. HIghly recommend Salt City."

"Marcelo did an excellent job. The price was more than fair. They completely sanded, and two coats of Bear paint in three days. All of the work was excellent. Would highly recommend them. I will also rehire Marcelo when I have another project."

"Tyler and his crew repaired my sprinkler system and moved the access and plumbing away from my foundation. He also repaired a secondary water tap that waters my large garden. He then took the system through all eight stations and repaired or replaced sprinkler heads. Finally, without me having to ask him, and just because it was "bugging" him, he fixed a gate on my fence at no charge. This man is competent, incredibly honest and believes a job worth doing is worth doing to the best of his ability. I live in West Point and will definitely call upon him again. Without hesitation, my recommendation is to hire Tyler to handle your home repair needs!"

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.

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.

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
