"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

"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"

"I have one side of my house that has been prone to cracking since I became homeowner 12 1/2 years ago. I have had the cracks repaired to varying degrees only to return. I saw a neighbor that hired South Coast Plastering and Stucco and they told me they were very satisfied. William Stewart came to my home while working on the neighbor's and measured. He promptly quoted the work with a military discout. He included a few other items I requested in the quote. He seemed to cover a range of skillsets which I appreciated. He was the first contractor to suggest adding expansion joints every 12 feet to restrict future cracking. I had enough information from him to realize he was honest and experienced. I did not get the work done when I originally wanted to start but we worked out a start date in the spring. I was surprised at how many in the crew showed up to get the job started. Building the scaffolding, pressure washing etc. The crew was very courteous and careful with keeping the job site clean. The job was done in three days. Rather impressive for an 80x14 wall with several other smaller jobs. William came back to my home a couple weeks later to inspect the job (and give me a t-shirt!). He noticed some areas that need to be retouched, including some cracks near my front door I did not know I had. He said he would send someone back in the next week to correct the small punch list of items and fix the small cracks on the other side of my house. I have nothing but good things to say about William Stewart and Ashley Heaton. You can trust they will get the job done correctly and do everything they can to satisfy you."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.
