"Marcelo and Henry from GM Carpentry were awesome!! We originally hired him to replace some siding on our house, which then turned into a bigger job of needing to replace some of our roof (it's always something with home ownership...sigh!). But, Marcelo and his team were SO fast, responsive and reliable. Showed up when they said they would and finished the job (including all the extra stuff) in four days. 10000% hire him for anything carpentry and you won't be disappointed!"

"This was crown molding on a high cathedral ceiling, both on the horizontal wall line and the rise. The transition on this is a challenge and Ken did a very nice job. The lengths were long and I feelt two people were needed, but Ken was able to do it, however some pieces did not fit tight leaving some gaps. the good news is the molding will be painted so the miscuts were easily puttied and blended in, my feeling is with two people the measurements would have been more accurate. But with two persons the cost would have been higher. Ken's price was great so I am not complaining. I would hire Ken again and I have other jobs lined up, i will call him back."

"Nixon and his worker worked straight for 5 hours moving 4 rooms of very difficult and heavy furniture. They then went on to repair a desk and hang a very heavy old mirror. They were wonderful. They are planning on returning in the spring to do some outside garden and yard work. I now know who to call when I need anything and everything done in my house."

"Igle (hope the spelling is correct) was very friendly, respectful and professional. He responded quickly to my request for a quote on replacing my front porch steps. He gave me a very reasonable cost estimate. Unfortunately, upon removal of the old steps insect damage to the framing structure was discovered. He was not deterred by this change in the scope of the project. My house was built in 1896 and nothing is standard about the construction, complicating the work. He managed to find a way to resolve all the problems and I am very happy with the result. We worked out a very reasonable adjustment to the original estimate to cover the extra materials and labor. I would highly recommend him. I intend to call on him in the future for other work."

"I wanted an estimate in advance, and I told Edie I was not ready to get my deck fixed yet. Despite that, he gave me a thoughtful and detailed analysis of what he could do with my deck and emailed me a formal estimate. He answered many questions about materials and what would be the best options. He contacted me very soon after I submitted my interest and came to my home at short notice. I was impressed by the photos of his work, his knowledge, and excellent attitude."

"We recently hired Joe to paint my mother’s entire house and two-story garage, and the results were beautiful. He was responsive, quick, and truly listened to what we wanted. He worked closely with us throughout the project, was easy to communicate with, and handled every change request professionally and without hesitation. What stood out most was his care and attention to detail. He took pride in his work, and it showed in the finished product. The whole property looks refreshed and absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and professional painter."

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.
