"Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is a true craftsman and incredibly skilled. He took time to understand my vision and exceeded my expectations with the results. He is extremely neat, detailed and talented. Not to mention he is kind and patient. He is trustworthy and always on time. He is very passionate about his craft and takes great pride in doing a perfect job. He is fun to collaborate with and I felt very confident in trusting him to make some artistic decisions. The mantle he made for the fireplace is absolutely beautiful. I really lucked out finding Tim and Smith Woodworking. I strongly recommend him."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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. 

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
