"One of a Kind Carpenter was terrific. All the work was completed- even though we ran into some challenges, which they quickly resolved. I have an older house, and these were not anticipated with the job. I also added on to the project a few times, which they managed to do in a timely fashion, and the quality of work was impeccable. I would highly recommend him, and I will not use anyone else for my work now."

"From estimate to finished work M&P was awesome. They took down an old wooden fence and put up a new one for us. They were meticulous in their work and the finished product is something we are proud to have around our home. I would heartily recommend them and plan on using them for other work we need to have done."

"We had a bar built with no plans, just an idea in our heads. He was able to translate that into an excellent product, exactly as we envisioned. He kept in touch with us throughout the build, excellent communication skills. Delivered and set up as promised. I highly recommend Kyle as a carpenter and as a person. Honest and a caring professional."

"It was a pleasure to work with Javier. He always wanted to make sure that I'm completely satisfied with job I hired him for. I'm very happy with my new kitchen, Javier did everything - demolition, cabinets and all appliances installation. He even leveled marble floor under the kitchen appliances to make sure they are leveled appropriately. He completed his job on time as promised. Excellent service."

"My master bathroom needed completely redesigned. There was a huge garden tub with a small shower and there were two very small closets. Errol used his creativity to redesign the space adding a walk in closet, removing the old shower and bath and building a completely new shower from scratch. Errol was extremely organized regarding his approach to the tasks to complete and making sure materials were available when required. His creativity, expertise in multiple areas, attention to detail and organization resulted in a beautiful new master bath. I highly recommend Errol."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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. 

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. 

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
