"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

Growing up in an automotive restoration shop while helping rebuild homes for my uncle, a property developer, taught me the value of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and doing things the right way. I've developed a passion for restoring and improving just about anything, always going above and beyond to ensure every project is completed with the same care and pride as if it were my own. My goal is simple: deliver quality work that's built to last.

"We couldn’t be happier with the deck that Expert Home Builders built for us. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly professional and respectful. They took the time to really understand what we wanted and guided us through all the options for materials and design. It never felt rushed, and their communication throughout the project was spot-on. The workmanship is truly top-notch. Every board and railing is perfectly aligned, and the quality of the materials is excellent. They were also super clean and organized, making sure everything was left tidy at the end of each day. The entire process felt easy, and there were no surprises when it came to the price. If you’re thinking about building a deck, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Expert Home Builders. The end result is better than we could have imagined, and we’ve already had so many compliments from friends and neighbors."

Woodworking 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. 

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

While you may have heard people use millwork and carpentry interchangeably, they aren’t the same. Millwork is a type of carpentry, which means that carpentry isn’t always millwork. You can tell millwork apart from other types of carpentry because it’s manufactured at a mill. Notably, casework is also confused with millwork. Casework is different because it refers to boxes like cabinets and bookshelves.

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.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.
