"907 Fix It was able to perform the job when many other agencies were unwilling/too expensive/ or too busy to assist this summer. Chris Skaggs went out of his way to call us and answer all questions we had. Very efficient and economical work."

"I wish there were 10 stars for Mike Nichols Construction. Mike took on a complete rebuild on a room no one else in town would touch. The room was destroyed by condensation and dry rot and built by an amateur without a permit. Mike’ s meticulous work ethic started with the drawings on the bid and permit application. They were impeccable. You should ask to look at them. The demo alone was amazing. The foundation, walls, roof, interior, exterior and wood stove work was perfect. Look at the website to see it is true. Mike was at the job every day ready to go, and worked hard with his crew until the work was done. This was in winter in Alaska with little sunlight. He had all the tools needed in his work trailer. The communication was open and reliable. Any concerns were promptly addressed and resolved. There were a few times our orders changed and Mike refunded my account without me knowing or asking. Location and Covid supply issues made ordering and receiving difficult. Mike made it easier for me by ordering and picking up my out of town supplies as needed, at no extra charge. Mike Nichols was fair and polite. He managed his crew efficiently. Mike’s attention to detail is at the standard of a fine craftsman. The room is the jewel of the house and built to a much higher standard than most houses in Seward Alaska! I highly recommend Nichol’s Construction for a fair, professional and highly skilled job."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Professionals ensure safe, thorough repairs using quality materials, extending the life of your structure.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
