"Daniel is very professional. He is a skilled carpenter and is eager to make his clients happy. I've had Daniel build a complicated deck, a patio, smoker deck, clean gutters, repair gutters, move plants, and more. I have recommended him to others and recommend him to you. Remember: don't assume anyone can read your mind and discern your vision or wants unless you thoroughly explain that to them."

"Hired Ben & Jordan Stone to do a roofing job. Was impressed by their attention to detail, and commitment to ensuring I was happy with their work. So, I hired them to build a 500 sq. ft. deck. Again, they did an excellent job, in a timely manner. Now have them on speed dial for any future building projects around the house."

"William came to my home very soon after i put the request in on home advisor on new year s day! After the rain ended he and his workers spent 4 days rebuilding my chimney due to the faulty home build. He showed me all of the wet and rotten pieces they replaced as they went along and explained everything they did. They also cleaned up the yard of wood pieces and nails and left no debris. I would definitely hire them 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. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.
