"This handyman team was outstanding! We had an emergency requirement for a bed frame and matress/boxsprings to be assembled & install for use the same day. It was not an easy assemble, but they completed it perfectly! In addition to being knowledgeable & professional, they were very friendly & personable. I will definitely use them again when I have a need!"

"recently hired Northwest Builders & Renovation to build my garage, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. The communication was clear every step of the way, and they delivered exactly what they promised ? on time and within budget. The quality of the framing, concrete, and finish work exceeded my expectations. They took care of everything efficiently, handled permits smoothly, and left the site clean every day. It?s rare to find contractors this reliable and dedicated to doing the job right. I highly recommend Northwest Builders & Renovation to anyone looking for skilled, honest professionals who truly care about their work."

"Working with KOI Build was easy and stress free. I found Chris, the owner, to be smart, creative, and personable. He came up with options and solutions for my new deck that were aesthetically pleasing and budget friendly . The crew that worked replacing my backyard deck worked beautifully, also contributing suggestions that brought my project to completion, also beautifully.l"

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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.
