"Scottie re-screened my porch and attached them with pvc trim that is permanent and makes it much easier to replace individual screen sections in the future. Beautiful job, reasonable price and completed the job in 1 day. He even brought his chain saw and cut some small trees that were too close to the porch at no additional cost. He also pointed out that my deck needed repairs for stability and safety. I am waiting on his estimate and certain that I will hire him for that job as well. I highly recommend him as a carpentry contractor."

"September 2024 I had some damaged siding replaced. They took there time to try to match the color and came as close as possible. They were pleasant to work with and knowledgeable. Price was reasonable."

"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"

"The work was done decent and in order. We hired Dan to assemble a bar and install an outdoor Television inside the bar. He nailed it. Dan was very professional, attentive to the job at hand and had great work ethics. I was very impressed with the detail in which he performed each given task. He did more than what was expected. We found him to be very knowledgeable in his craft. My husband and I are very pleased. We have already referred Dan to one of our friends who buys old houses and fix them up for resale. Dan finished tfw project in a very timely manner. We will be willing to use Dan for future projects as needed. Thanks Angi’s List for recommending such a hard working and dedicated individual to work on this project. Now to get my Hubby to come inside is gonna be my problem…one I must figure out on my own. #Happy Customers"

"I contracted with Kevin Martin’s company to build a new deck. He and his wife were very good and dependable communicators who kept me advised as to the schedule of materials delivery and crew’s work days. They built a beautiful and structurally safe deck with a modern railing. I highly recommend Kevin’s company for any constructionjob"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
