"Hired Lovell Constrction to build a stand alone deck on a steep slope; a difficult project given the terrain and physical movement of building materials from the staging area to the job site. The project was completed quickly, thoroughly and professionally. Craftsmanship and work ethics are second to none. Exceeded expectations and standards expected. Plan to use again and refer to others for quality work needs."

"Chris did a great job on my decks. It was a very difficult job as it was a rebuild from the existing deck. The deck is high, and it was attached to my roof. It was a project that required a great deal of planning and skill. Chris also had to work during the extreme heat and the job was very labor intense. I love the decks! Chris did an exceptional job and stayed on budget. He also is always pleasant and communicates well. He kept me updated throughout the project, so I always knew what to expect. I would highly recommend Chris!"

"Mike Taylor and Jay Lembke of M & J Handymen took care to build the replacement deck more structurally sound than the original, while matching the look and functionality that we wanted. They were knowledgeable and careful to meet code requirements. They dealt easily with unexpected issues and kept our budget in mind. They kept us updated on progress and schedule. They were considerate of our property. They are great to work with, and we will be happy to work with them in the future."

"Jeremiah and team did a terrific job on our new hot tub deck. The project was complex as it needed to be built on the slope, tie into the house, and support a large hot tub with gazebo. Jeremiah listened well and contributed helpful ideas to make the overall design better. The price was very competitive, with documented bids and invoices. The construction team showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves daily. We liked them so much that we hired them for another job right after. I would recommend hiring Jeremiah and his team."

"The consultant was knowledgeable and honest. He told me that I didn't need his services for this project and recommended a different direction for the repairs. I noticed that his business card advertised other services, and I hired him to provide termite protection for both our buildings."

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. 

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
