"I was very impressed with Matthew’s dedication that showed in all his work. I was very impressed with the new door and frame replacement, painted and exchanged all new hardware, plus painted and refreshed all exterior doors! Lastly, Power washed the whole house and surprised me by power washing part of my privacy fence for a bonus touch! You can count on him to keep his word and charge a fair price for his work!"

"I had a plumber redo pipes which were clogged, by word of mouth. I hired Harley’s DOUBLE G ENTERPRISES, to repair what the plumbers broke. This young man was respectful, he made sure to do what we wanted. I would hire this man again. Only one thing I would do is ask that he covers my floors with plastic so not track concrete dust across my floors. Otherwise he’s awesome. Carol."

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 hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
