"Kurt did an excellent job, saving our windows from needing full replacement. Less experienced carpenters turned down the job as the rot was extensive. Kurt left them looking better than when we purchased the house. He communicated well about the work and always let me know when he'd be arriving. He was also just a really nice person to have around for a long and tedious job -- friendly and pleasant, working hard through a heat wave. I recommend him without hesitation."

"Graeden was referred by a friend for what began as a few smaller projects — patching and painting, etc. From the very beginning, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. As work progressed, I decided to refinish the hardwood floors on the first floor. The results were stunning. Seeing how beautifully the floors turned out inspired me to paint the entire first floor. Throughout the entire three-month project, Graeden was flexible, enthusiastic, and willing to accommodate additional tasks without hesitation. His workmanship is meticulous, especially when it comes to the finishing touches. He take pride in his craft and worked with me to ensure my vision became reality. Pricing was very reasonable, communication was excellent from start to finish. The end result is truly fabulous! It feels like a brand new home! I can't thank him enough! I highly recommend Graeden to anyone who is looking for quality workmanship and a contractor who genuinely cares about his work."

"Matt has done multiple projects for me, including kitchen cabinet refacing, applying new kitchen tile, kitchen floor and all new inside doors. Everything was done timely and with excellence. Matt gave me an estimate and stayed within budget. He arrives on time and cleans up as he works. He is very polite and takes the time to answer questions completely. While he was here for my door replacement, I asked him if he could install a flag on my house, that would require a base built where it attached to the house. He completed it by improvising a beautiful custom wood mount for the flag. I highly recommend Matt for any project you may have."

"Randy and his son did an outstanding job for us. We had multiple small projects; replacement/installation of drop ceilings in our basement, installation of a handrail on our basement stairs, frame in a new closet/door in our den, replacement of weather stripping around our garage doors. Randy responded quickly to my request and provided an estimate within a couple of days. The estimate was very reasonable. The work was completed quickly and the quality was outstanding. They showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend."

Woodworking 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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
