"Can?t say enough good things about Tom Vinzant and his friendly crew at North Beach Contractors. Tom and his dad looked over my house and gave me excellent advice on repairs and maintenance. They were here working on my house for two weeks to paint and otherwise spruce up the exterior and make repairs. One reason I chose them, other than their many glowing references, is that Tom offers one-stop shopping: cleaning, repairs, and painting all done by North Beach Contractors. Tom has a talented and diligent crew. They were always here at 9 am and worked over consecutive days to completion. It looks like they did excellent work and they left my property completely clean of any debris. My house looks nice and I am very happy. Tom Vinzant is wonderful to work with: hardworking, smart, kind, reliable, and honest. I will definitely be hiring North Beach Contractors again in the future. They are licensed, bonded, and insured."

"Jose with Bellos construction is a kind person and a man of his word. The project ended up taking a little longer then planned do to minor complications. Jose still honored his original quote. Jose is a man of integrity and he holds his crew to high standards. I will use Jose and Bellos construction again in the future."

"Well, it was fun as well as giving me just what I wanted for my house.....more light, more privacy, and aesthetics. The nice thing about Tim, aside from the fact that he's a nice person and very intelligent, and gifted in his field, is that he listens and makes you part of the process. I felt totally at ease and secure giving him keys to my house for work that was done when I wasn't there. My house maintains it's old feel (he blended the new with the old) as well as contributing to making it an even more beautiful house."

"everything went very well. The trees that we had cut were close to the water pump and our home. He cut the trees and told us where they would land and they landed just where he said. The job was done in less that 2 hours if that. A very good experience and we would hire him again. We would and have recommended him."

"James and his team evaluated my roof, discovered the problem, and fixed it. In addition, he informed me on potential repair locations. I had been attempting to have my roof fixed but had received no response from other contractors. I'm very glad I chose NW Builders, and I recommend them to anybody in need of roof repair."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.

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. 

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.
