For me to pay $16K to get horrible service & still go through the water issue is not good at all!!!"

Customers say: Super punctual

I can fix most things around the house, and I love assembly jobs! I have been doing handyman work since i was about 7(I'm 21 now) when my dad passed. I will be the main one showing up to complete the job as I am owner operated and ran(with the exception of a helper depending on the size of the project) My flexibility is matched by none, you need someone at night? during the morning? Do you work odd hours? Leave it to Sebastian!

"It was glued on and the glue did not stay. He returned to do other work and he re-glued the plastic. It has come apart again. It is not going to stay and now I have to hire someone else who knows what to do to repair it."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.
