Customers say: Terrific value

"We had a wood floor refinished and had to manage the project from out of state. The communication was very good. They worked with us on a tight time frame and came through. We had to change the project midway due to unexpected finds and they worked with us on that. The floor looks very nice, so would recommend this company."

"Superb is the word that comes to mind when talking about Connell's Lawn Care! Mr. Connell and his team did a fantastic job cleaning up my landscape and yard that had gone too long without proper maintenance. He was able to remove a ton of weeds, raked everything out of the old landscape beds and then proceeded to trim all the palms/trees/bushes on my property to get them back to looking great again! He then filled everything back in with new mulch and got everything looking awesome! I really appreciate all the hard work and how well everything turned out in the end. It's tough these days to find someone that will work this hard for you, so I HIGHLY recommend Connell's Lawn Care! I liked his work so much that I'm now using him to maintain my lawn too! Thank you!!!"

"Greg installed a new metal roof for me in Donalsonville, GA. I can't say enough good things about him and his company. He was prompt with an estimate and stayed in contact with me throughout the whole process. Also, he sent pictures during and after the installation. You can't go wrong hiring Southern Signature Solutions. I will be definitely be calling him again for future jobs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
