"Called Vista and two other companies to get competing quotes. Vista was by far the easiest to schedule with both quickly and promptly. They were knowledgable, offered excellent working materials and a range of warranty options. Despite the additional complications of having to bring in additional contractors to both dismount and remount an existing solar system on the roof - Vista worked with us to have the work done in short form, and within the original deadline. We had extra 'fun' with extremely high winds that made containment of the material being removed challenging - and they went to great lengths to meet those. A piece of shingle was picked up from the old roof and broke a neighbor's window, and they went to talk to the neighbor themselves and the foreman personally patched and then repaired the window. They also took the time to be safe, which I appreciated. All in all, there were no surprises and everything stayed on schedule and in budget. What more could you ask for?"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
