"Brandon and Khalil are excellent contractors. They work hard, are professional, and are reasonably priced. They and their crew were respectful, tidy, and do great work. Their demo of the existing deck, in preparation for the new one, was outstanding. I look forward to hiring them again for future home projects, since they have the ability to do all types of construction and maintenance."

"I cannot say enough about the performance of this company. Everything we asked of them was completed to perfection! We had major problems with water damage on the roof, and flooring that needed to be leveled. They paid careful attention to my vision of a new gable and completed that beyond my expectations, and now my floor is also nice and level. My kitchen cabinets were painted beautifully. There were so many other repairs they took care of for us and all were performed with expert skill and care. Every quote was reasonably priced so we never felt the need to negotiate a lower quote. They always showed up on time, and put in a full days work everyday. After everything was completed and they had left, we would have never known we had work done. Everything was picked up and clean. They even ran a big magnet over the yard making sure nails and screws were not left behind from the roofing project. These are gentlemen, all four of them. Never heard cussing and there was not inappropriate behavior. They couldn’t tell me enough how much they appreciated our business, imagine that! Asked if I would use them again for work, “big or small”, ABSOLUTELY!! I have already asked them to please schedule a time to build a new dock for our lake and a back porch deck. Thank You, Thank You, Watkins Home Improvement for taking such excellent care of us in this world of cons and fraud."

"John did an excellent job on my shower. He didn't boost up the cost nor did he just do what I asked. He explained that what I was asking for wasn't really needed I only need to do etc... that is awesome! most times contractors don't advise customers that just do what you ask. I will definitely use him again!"

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 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.

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. 

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.

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.
