"Mr. Martin was excellent to work with. Rain held up the project some, but the project kept moving and was done efficiently and neatly. We intend to ask him to do other projects for us."

"This is the second time using Jacob, Mark and their team. I could not be more elated with the outcome! It’s a true show stopper of a kitchen. I have several other home projects that they will be doing."

"I’d you are looking for a company to remodel or update your bathroom look no further. My remodel was an entire “gut” job and I could not be more satisfied. The team arrived on time and made sure to communicate any changes in schedule. Be sure to research and know what fixtures you plan to use because they move fast."

"What a fantastic company. - prompt, dependable, dedicated, industrious, HONEST! Beside organizing my home, they will do deep cleaning, hang wall decor, make decorating and style suggestions and choices, and maintain my sanity! They have dropped off items to be repaired and organized my files. Sidekicks is the perfect example of a “Jack of all trades”. I was very lucky to have found them."

"The guys from Falcon Pro, Alex and Gerardo, were great to work with right from the first time we met with them. After introductions, we all walked through our space together and discussed what we wanted to see at the end of the job. Along the way they made suggestions about things that we should consider as well. Once we agreed on the price and scope of work, they accompanied us to pick our cabinets, countertops and tile. They also took us to the home of a client whose house they had renovated extensively, so we were able to get a firsthand look at the quality of their work. Their input and responsiveness throughout the process was great, and their attention to detail and the I'll quality of their finishes is five star. From painting and tile work to plumbing and electrical upgrades to complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, we recommend Falcon Pro without hesitation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.
