"Joe did great job of replacing old tin with new tin on the barn. Also, frame out and put in 2 sliding doors. Not easy to work with an old barn. Very prompt to respond, good quality of work and fair price. I will be using Joe with future projects. Brad C"

"I hired Elite Gypsum to texture a wall that had wallpaper removed as well as re texture a powder bath. Brad did a fantastic job and the new texture matched perfectly to the existing texture. Additionally they were able to get me on the schedule quickly and did my work on a Saturday! I wouldn t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing drywall work and I will definitely hire them again should I need additional work!"

"Cary and Dorian built the most beautifully stained custom base/riser for my electric fireplace. It’s stunning and they did amazing craftsmanship. Great customer service as well. I’ll be hiring them more in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.
