"I would be happy to write a full review when the deck is completed. They are about 5 days from being done. We were very happy they were able to start a week earlier than had thought. Very pleasant to work with and a hard working crew."

"We found Mark on-line; he responded quickly. We feared we were confronting a large expense because our bathroom floors were sagging under our toilets (in two adjoining bathrooms). Mark determined our problems were not with our underflooring, and his estimate was quite reasonable. He and his team did the repairs faster than we anticipated and within the estimate, They were most pleasant throughout, the work is excellent, our (bathroom) problems are resolved. Highly recommended."

"Ricky can do it all! He put up new walls to create an office and master closet (including all electrical/lighting in connection with each as well as internet in the office and custom racks and shelving in the closet). He planned and installed all of our outdoor landscape and flood lighting (which has completely transformed the usability and aesthetic of the backyard). He removed the existing in-ground basketball hoop and installed a brand new heavy duty hoop in its place (including engineered rebar/concrete work in connection with same). He has also helped with various electrical, plumbing, drywall, dry rot, water damage, replaced/upgraded appliances. He is a one-stop shop, is reliable, honest, trustworthy and hard-working. Cannot recommend him or his work enough!"

"Contractor contacted me and scheduled work promptly. He did some work in addition to the deck repair. However, the additional work to resolve a leak associated with my rain gutter did not solve the problem."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
