"Mr. Ortiz and his crew installed a 300 square foot deck for us, and the work is great. He explained everything, gave options, tips about taking care of the deck, and put in the extra effort to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. If given the opportunity to hire Ortiz Wood Carpentry again, we would gladly request his proposal again."

"Vasilly had to change the day/time for the job he bid, but he called & rescheduled agreeing to come on a SUNDAY morning. He made it that day; on time - a pleasant surprise. It took him about 3 & 1/2 hours to build & mount the railing in the garage. This single railing installed in our garage looks great (nicer than we'd anticipated & will serve us very well (safety assistance after surgery required this addition). We were concerned it might look really 'weird' but the materials Vasilly chose along with his skillful installation has totally eliminated that concern. Total construction & materials: $400."

"Dave took 2 bedrooms and a small bathroom and created al master suite. He enlarged and upgraded the bathroom and made one elegant bedroom. Dave is a perfectionist and the work reflects it. He is also very creative and loves his job. We couldn't ask for more: The remodel is beautiful, artistic and practical, the price reasonable, and he and his crew were a delight to have around--polite, respectful and fun. Millennium Specialties exceeded our expectations and more!"

"Mike was extremely professional and had great attention to detail. He was able to put me on his schedule quickly and completed the job within a few days. Mike was very knowledgeable with the types of materials, products, and options available. We worked out the perfect price point that was within my budget, which was a lot more affordable than every other option in town. He worked rain or shine, has an efficient process down, and works with a good team, who were also trustworthy and professional. Iâ d highly recommend Mike to any friends and family looking for fence work."

"Prompt estimate was within my budget. They were ready to start right away. They work fast to get old shingles off (three layers) had to replace some plywood and 2x8's.They worked in the rain until it turned into hail. Nice people, neat and organized. They were careful with my possessions. I'd hire them again."

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.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
