"Fabulous experience with this highly qualified contractor. He is the fix all go-to person. We are real estate agents who handle many properties. This job was replacing large tiles on floor, painting, carpentry work and minor interior repairs. All done professionally in a quick timely manner."

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

Customers say: Quality work

"John did an amazing job removing an old aluminum frame shower door and installing a new beautiful frameless glass door. Several contractors had said the job was almost impossible and that it would involve tearing out the shower walls. Well, i took a chance on John, who came to look at it and spent a lot of time determining what was needed. He removed the old frame and door with no damage at all to existing shower walls. We chose a door and John ordered it, picked it up and brought it to my condo to install. It was a difficult job but John figured everything out and the new door fits perfectly and adds a modern look to my bathroom. He had to find new screws to work with the shower walls and spent a lot of time making sure everything was perfect. I will be hiring John again to now add tiles inside the shower because I trust him to treat me right pricewise and do a fantastic professional job. I would hire John for any type work. I will be showing off my new door to my neighbors and recommending John for any work. John truly cares about the quality of his work and always wants to make sure the customer is happy. I am a very happy and satisfied customer."

Carpentry 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. 

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
