"I needed to replace my 53' x 12-15' deck, which is also my front porch, completely. I had to let my first contractor go because of continued postponements. I had the permits and the posts and framing was done and passed inspection and the deck boards were on site, but that's it. Two other contractors didn't bother to even quote the cost for finishing. Nick did and was very reasonable. He pointed out major errors in the railing system on the part of the first contractor, installed the decking, posts, rails and cable railing, lattice work, stairs and trim. ALL BY HIMSELF IN 10 DAYS. I didn't think it possible! The work is very well done. Every time I had a suggestion or concern on how to proceed with some aspect of the project, Nick either had already thought of it or had a better idea. He is very knowledgeable about his profession. I strongly recommend him and will use him again for future projects."

"Karl Dunn did a great job with the installation of a new door /w a glass window from kitchen to garage. Some modification to the frame was accomplished for a tight fit. New hardware and trim was also purchased and installed. Looks great and my wife is pleased with outcome and can see out. Great Job and much detailed work. Thank You Karl."

"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!!!"

Carpentry FAQs, 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. 

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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.
