"I had the team do some work for me a few months ago and they did superior work. This job was an exterior job. The estimate that was quoted was fair and they beat the timeliness as well. There were no issues with the work and they even pointed out some quality things that I overlooked. They will be my contractors moving forward on ANY job."

"The workers arrive on time, work until the job is finished in a professional and attentive manner. I had no problem with trust issues since I went to work allowing access to my house with no problems. The work is done to your satisfaction without complaint. I have used other contractors and spent many a day waiting for someone not to arrive as promised. This will not happen with this company."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
