"Stop perusing contractors and just contact Adam immediately – he’s the one you want to build your fence or deck. We hired Adam to construct a privacy fence, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the final result. Adam was personable and easy going yet professional, and his crew was friendly and polite. He produced top-notch work, and he did so for the price he’d originally quoted -- there were no “gotcha” price increases that are unfortunately common among contractors. Most impressively, Adam and his crew finished the work on time, despite poor weather and issues with a supplier. He also took the challenges our slightly strange property presented in stride. We cannot recommend Adam Free Multi-Services enough, and we’ve already had initial discussions with him about other projects."

"I needed some help with dry rot around the windows in my 35 year old house. Most of those who responded to my online inquiry only wanted to sell new windows. At least one wanted to replace perfectly good double picture windows. Home Improvement Masters (HIM) was the first respond to my search inquiry that had a solution which did not require replacing windows that were perfectly good. When I received HIMâ s proposal I was a bit stunned at the level of thoroughness in the proposal and, frankly, the price. But the customer reviews I found were excellent and, after talking with the owner, I ultimately decided to go with HIM. I was not disappointed. Not only did HIM repair frames around most of my windows they found several other dry rot and maintenance issues and fixed them. HIMâ s workmanship was excellent. They were hard working, diligent, on time, and extremely neat. They listened to my needs and were very cooperative in making adjustments as the work proceeded. The bottom line for all the work saved me about 40% below the cost two other bids I received for window replacements only. Needless to say it was worth every penny I paid them. I fully expect to use HIM again and I would not hesitate to recommend HIM to anyone."

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. 

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
