"Great company! We had a bathroom remodel done to our master bathroom. Mack and his crew were phenomenal with the remodel. Great quality carpentry work along with great tile work. We converted our garden tub and shower to a walk in shower. They pay great attention to detail also. The price we were quoted was what we paid. Again, great company. We will definitely be using them in the future. Contact them directly +1 (706) 715-0439 - Juri"

"The exterior of my house was just repaired and painted by CA Custom Painting. I have had work done before but none like this. Carlos Sr and Jr are extremely professional, and skilled. First they gave me a competitive estimate in line with others I obtained. After accepting them to do the work the first thing they did was a thorough close-up inspection. When they found additional work that needed to be done, they took a picture and pointed out to me where the damage was located or showed me the damaged part that had carpenter bee or damage due to rot, Once the carpentry work was done, to my surprise, they even suggested that I repair my porch prior to painting it because it needed minor repairs that I was willing to accept as is. CA Custom Painting repaired the damaged area so that the total job would reflect positively on them and be much better for me. They worked all day, cleaned up daily and never caused any delays ,issues or problems. It felt like they painted my home as they would their own, they refused to take shortcuts. They sought and obtained perfection, the house looks brand new! I inspected their work multiple times each day, they welcomed all questions and took the time to explain their work. I am very pleased with the work done and would highly recommend CA Custom Painting to anyone that wants their home properly repaired and painted by true professionals."

"Andy is a consummate honest, professional and talented craftsman. Our front porch steps had separated from the side rails and support posts. Another words, no one was able to enter through the front of our home. Andy gave us a quote which he adhered to. The quality of his repair/replacement work was excellent and timely. He NEVER left any mess. Andy will be the ONLY person my hubby and I will call for any/all future work! Thank you Andy, we appreciate you."

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. 

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.
