"Hired this company to do several things at a mobile home for my boys. It cost $2800. Way overpriced. They used used supplies, got paint all over the floor. I will be honest the quality and service I got done looked like a bunch of fifth graders came in and did the work. The existing trim that was on the doors they painted green the same color of the walls. You don?t paint trim when you?re not told to. The trim above the closet door was placed too high. Now there?s a gap in the wall that I paid to have covered up."

"We started out with a simple request to replace some siding and ended up using Barry and his team for everything, and let me tell you, they have been AWESOME throughout this entire process! He and his team have repeatedly gone out of their way, every step of the way, to make sure that we're not only getting what we asked for, but also to ensure that the work was being done correctly, quickly, and at a reasonable price. They didn't just patch things up outside, they've completely restored this home. It's even better now than it was originally! It's simply amazing to see the absolute transformation this house has gone through in such a short amount of time and we could not be more satisfied with the job they've done! I would highly recommend Barry and his team for any project you have - literally, ANY project - these guys can do it all! Just give him a call and get that free estimate, you won't be disappointed. Also, everyone on the team was great, but I need to give a special shoutout to Michael - he was out there through the entire project and had some amazing recommendations that really took the remodeling phase to the next level! Just another reason you can't go wrong choosing Homeworx."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Costs depend on carport size, wood type, complexity of design, and labor for custom features. They typically start at $3,000 and extend beyond concrete thresholds.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
