"I had had two small projects that I needed done; repair a screen in a screen door that had torn open and a wooden gate that wouldn’t close shut anymore. I met Chad durning the week and he told me how he was going to make the repairs and the approximate cost for each project. Chad was very professional and accurate on how long the projects would take and his quote. After he completed the project he had me inspect the work to make sure I was satisfied with what he did. I’ll definitely hire Chad for more projects I have around the house. So glad I was able to find him on Angi."

"Gabes Home Solutions contacted me and set up an appointment to put together a treadmill. He presented early and was extremely friendly and explained what he would be doing and how long it might take. He worked quietly and deliberately finishing ahead of schedule. The price he quoted was exactly what he charged. He even helped me to place it where my wife wanted it. Excellent service! He provided me with a list of handyman services that he provided, after I asked and I definitely will be using him again."

"Rphandy was very professional. He researched the problem and discussed the situation with me, and even discovered a third option which not only corrected the problem but saved me time and money. I will be sure to contact him again for future needs and as situations arise."

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. 

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
