"Planet Builders did a great job on our deck. We would highly recommend them. We wanted to replace our surface deck boards with artificial decking. Planet Builders did the job in about ten days and did a beautiful job."

"Vasa construction called me right away off Angie’s list and came out and offered a competitive quote the same day. I hired them and they started working 2 days later. They were very professional and kept my home clean throughout the whole process. I will use them again."

"The Exodus crew did a great job on our shed. I recently had shoulder surgery and wasn’t able to move the tools from our old shed and to clear out the junk. They did it for me then demolished the old shed and built a much sturdier shed with a loft for extra storage. They even upgraded the roof tiles for me at no extra cost. I highly recommend Exodus LLC 4 for replacing sheds and any other projects around the home (i.e. bathroom or kitchen remodels, etc)."

"Rosell Home did an amazing job rebuilding my entire home (which had been gutted to the studs) after a fire. The original contractors on the project, were terrible. After several months of no progress, I hired Randy from Rosell Home to finish (really to start) the rebuild. It was the best decision I could have made. The experience was like night and day from the precious contractors. Rosell Home made sure all the permits were properly pulled, had great subcontractors, and made sure the construction was to code. (The previous contractors tried to get away with not bringing things to code, because it would be "too difficult"). The communication was fabulous, I knew when people would be working on my house, what the schedule was, and if there were unexpected issues, they always had proposals for solutions. When Rosell Home took over the reconstruction, they really seemed dedicated to getting me back in as soon as possible. Amber helped me with all the design selections which was critical. After a fire, the last thing you want to do is make decisions about finishes. Amber got a sense of my style and would pull out a few selections for me to look at and choose from. This massively reduced the stress of walking into a store full of tile, or paint, or flooring and being told to pick something. She worked with me to make sure I was happy. They also stood behind their work. During Covid, their normal subcontractors were not always available, and when the alternate subcontractors work was not up to their standards, they had the work redone. Including reinstalling the hardwood floor! Throughout the whole process it felt like they were working on my home, not just another construction site. I love my new house and am so happy with the work they did! If you hire Rosell Home, you will not be disappointed!"

"These guys are the best! Hard workers and quality work. The fence looks great and I am more than happy with the work that was completed. I asked them to clean up and they took care of it with no issues. They got the whole job done in 1 day. I have more fence in the back that needs to get replaced and I will call them later in the year to replace them for me."

Woodworking FAQs, answered by experts

There are two ways you can cut trim for doorways: with a miter saw or a table saw. Mitered joints need a 45-degree angle. If you’re unfamiliar with a miter saw, you might want to consider buying extra trim pieces or choosing butted joints instead. One wrong cut, and you’ll need to power up the saw again with a new piece. 

Butted joints—also called shaker style—don’t need a 45-degree angle. Instead, your side pieces attach perpendicularly to the header trim and only require a straight cut.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

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.

Many modern homes have soffits, but older ones don’t, and you may be wondering why. Older homes have eaves that extend further beyond the home and help to circulate air, negating the need for a soffit. This style of building has faded away, therefore, modern homes need separate soffit installation. Modern soffits are more efficient than this older style and require less material to construct, saving homeowners money.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
