"We called a lot of contractors for this job and many never returned our calls. Those who did were difficult to get a hold of thereafter. The first thing that impressed us about Building Unlimited was their punctuality. They called us back immediately and always answered their phones. Once, Donny went back to the office after he had already left for the day to re-run some numbers for the project for us. Their availability and willingness to meet our needs were the greatest determining factors in our decision to hire them for the project.

Their estimate was the highest we received for the project, but it was completely worth it. We realized later that many other contractors had not planned to do things as thoroughly and would have used shortcuts in order to charge a lower price. If we had to do it over again, we wouldn't change a thing---except perhaps not waste time calling other contractors in the first place!

Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

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. 

Absolutely, as it ensures designs are viable and won’t compromise structural integrity.

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.
