Customers say: True professional

"Second Nature Home Improvement team was awesome. I got a free estimate for all the work we needed. They sent the contracts same night. So I agreed, they went to work the next Monday from when they came out. Very knowledgeable team, no matter what we needed they did it all, Bathroom Remodel, Flooring,Plumbing, Electrical work, outside hand rail, dishwasher hook up with pluming new electric outlets, they switched out an entire window for us. Water proofing part of the basement. Door repair, and a ton of small projects, the List goes on.... they literally do it all. Also anything the team saw that was an issue with our house Tommy would call to let us know. Super quick to suggest repairs of the said issues, and super quick with price quote. The original quote was for 1 month of work. even with all the extra stuff we kept adding on. The team finished everything in less then a months time. the pictures below don't even begin to do justice, nor really show the terrific work they did. If you saw the before and after, looks like a completely different house. Very trust worthy team. We weren't living at the house during the remodel. We had just bought the house and had not moved in yet. Gave team the code to the front door. Gave them complete trust in our house and doing the awesome work they did. also I was over an hour away so most of our communication was by text, or phone calls, and photos. They were on the same page as me the entire remodel. This company has our future business, and anyone that I know that needs any kind of work done for the history of the company. If you are looking for a company you can trust and get the job done right, look no more. My family and I recommend Second Nature Home Improvement. Thank you Guys for all your hard work, our hose looks awesome because of you."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
