"I had an outdoor playground set. Adrian was professional and hard-working. Great communication and he brought all the required tools and equipment. He showed up first thing in the morning on a short notice and it was all done before the end of the day. The assembly looks great and I know the kids will love it!"

"We hired Bayside Builders Group to tear down our old, rotting wood deck and replace it with a massive new composite deck, and they did a spectacular job. The picture-frame borders and the hidden fastener system look absolutely seamless. It completely transforms our backyard and gives us the perfect space for summer hosting. The crew was incredibly hard-working and finished the entire build in just a few days."

"The greatest roofing company I,ve ever encountered is Northwest Builders and Renovation. Moshe, with whom I collaborated to effectively complete my roof replacement project.

"I had Diego install banisters up my stairs in my 1916 Edwardian. He was very careful to make sure that they blended with the rest of the house. The work was meticulous and he was very attentive to my needs and desires in the hand rails appearance. The work was accomplished in a timely manner, his clean was great. I can now walk up and down the stairs safely and the banisters feel like they have been here forever. I highly recommend Diego for any work you might need."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
