How To Find A Stud In Your Wall

Do you have a remodeling project on your mind but haven’t the slightest clue where to start? A basic yet important thing to know is how to find a stud in your wall. We have an easy helpful tip to make this super easy.

The good news is that most screws are magnetic, and screws are commonly used in home construction. So, the studs in your walls probably have some screws in them. An easy way to find the studs in your wall is with a cheap magnet. Just move your magnet along the wall until the magnet gets drawn in and connects. Now you roughly know where the stud is, as well as where you shouldn’t drill or hammer directly to avoid hitting a screw.

You can also use a magnetic pick up stick to do this, which is designed to extend and pick up screws or other loose metal building materials. It’s the same practice as using a normal magnet.

If you are still feeling wary about where to drill or other aspects of home remodeling, there’s no shame in leaving it to an expert like Comerio Homes.
