"I reached out to Johnson & Sons and several other contractors to discuss the possibility of opening up and completely remodeling my kitchen and bathrooms, with the addition of a shower to the former half bath off the master suite. After receiving bids and meeting with each contractor, I went with Johnson & Sons due to the transparency and consideration Vic Johnson showed when discussing the project and its challenges, as well as providing a detailed quote. Because this remodel involved the removal of walls, tiling of the kitchen/bathrooms, potential size constraints, and a re-plumbing of the house, It was very important for me that things be done correctly, to code and with permits. Once demo and construction started, things proceeded at a brisk pace with minimal lag between subcontractors, and inspections. Their tile guy, Tony was great to work with and very helpful with making the appropriate detail selections around the showers. We did have a long wait for a cosmetic piece of cabinet siding, which ended up being the final part needed to complete the project. Vic was direct with me about the issue and the delay. Such a minor issue is in my opinion, very small potatoes compared to having quality work done. Ultimately, Johnson & Sons came in slightly under their contract price - a very pleasant and welcome surprise."

"The eight month long addition and kitchen remodel went well due entirely to the stellar work ethic and efforts of the personnel who were onsite each and every day. We were very happy with the subs and crew that Excel General Contractor uses. The crew were professional, punctual, and took great care with the details. We had complete faith in Oscar, who primarily led our project, and his team. The final product is beautiful and we are so happy we decided to move forward with such a big project."

"I was in urgent need of a licensed contractor for a home loan appraisal and Ryan and his team came through and quickly performed the work as requested by the appraiser. I would be interested in using Johnson Custom Builders to perform any future remodel plans I have."

"JJ Construction is professional and knowledgeable. They are on the look out to help guide the home owner to a practical and cost effective solution that looks great. Khoa Ha managed my deck replacement and fence replacement project. He was able to provide great advice that allowed my project cost to remain low and to work quickly through the permitting and inspection process without any problems. He delivered on all of his promises, and was easy to coordinate with before and during our project. His pricing and billing is transparent and fair. Highly recommended!"

"Shawn & Gianna did great work on my drywall repair & painting project. They also never treated me like my small, half-day job was of less importance than any others they have going on. If I need similar services in the future, I would definitely hire them again!"

Unfinished 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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

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.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
