"Scottie and his team were excellent! They stayed in budget and worked with us every step of the way. Scottie and his team replaced all of our vinyl siding with Hardie Board. They also upgraded all of our windows with Premium Argon filled windows and finished our back covered deck. Scottie has formed business relationships with building supply companies to ensure that you have maximum savings with your project; and even encouraged you to price shop. Hands down, utilizing his recommended suppliers saved us thousands of dollars. If you want quality work at a great price point, you won't be disappointed. Remember to be involved and communicate with Scottie. He is easy to talk with, so take time and be proactive. He will appreciate it and so will you."

"They replaced a shower floor and retiled, remodeled 3 closets, renovated a wood deck, and repaired damaged roofing, facia, and soffits. Walden worked with our schedule and completed the project in a good timeframe. They kept up good communication throughout the project. All workers were top-notch craftsmen. They were friendly and professional. Our dog even liked them. We will be hiring them soon for our next round of projects. Walden has our unqualified recommendation."

They fixed a problem which could have otherwise resulted in severe damage to other parts of the deck and compromised structural parts of the house. The work was done in a professional manner and when completed they cleared the area of all debrie."

"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
