"Chuck was very helpful. He showed me what was available locally, explained local building codes and picked up and installed my selections the next day. Chuck was on time and the work was performed within estimates. The work was professional and the area was clean when the job was finished. I would definitely hire Cuck again."

"We had a completely positive experience with My Guy Remodels and Rodi. He responded immediately to emails when we were scheduling, showed up when he said he would, and is very professional. He framed in our new bathroom and it looks like the job was done perfectly. Rodi is a contractor you can trust, very knowledgeable, a really nice guy too, and we will certainly have him do more work on our home in the future!"

Carpentry questions, 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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
