"We hired Dan a few times, and we were very happy. He built railings on our home, first. The biggest job he did was extensive rot repair around our 1938 vintage Cape and on our real estate office adjacent to our home. He removed the rot and replaced with a more durable engineered product. When it came to painting, Dan knew we wanted a "Nantucket" vibe and suggested a beautiful color with soft yellow doors, which is so warm and inviting to our customers! Dan went above and beyond when he surprised us with the addition of post skirts to add a decorative touch to the front of the real eatate office. Dan also did some plaster repair on our old horsehair plaster, and it was as smooth as glass! The best thing about the jobs was that Dan showed up on time, and did not leave to run off to other jobs. He stayed right with it to completion! Very professional. Highly recommend!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Depending on your carport's configuration, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it’s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it’s best left to the professionals.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
