"Corey did a very good job with our kitchen repair. Our general contractor hired him, and he's very conscientious about his work / craft. He uses a wet seam installation for the drywall, sort of like doing plaster, and that keeps him from sanding everything and really messing up the house. His painting was very high quality too. He takes his time, is meticulous, and you'll be happy with the finished product. We are."

"We had an excellent experience with Lux Construction & Remodeling on a large custom trim and molding project in our Bluffton home. They installed chair rail and panel molding throughout our main living areas and stairway along with custom doorway and dining room columns, and the final result completely transformed the house. From the beginning, Bernardo and his crew were great — very patient and collaborative throughout all of the design discussions, layout changes, and finishing details. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail truly stood out, especially with the stairway transitions, custom pillar work, and overall finish quality. The crew was professional, respectful of our home, hardworking, and clearly took pride in their work. We are extremely happy with the final result and highly recommend them to anyone looking for custom trim, molding, columns, or finish carpentry work"

"Jake is a talented and hardworking carpenter. He took my ideas and design to build a gazebo and made it better than I could have imagined! Truly a work of art! He took care to make sure everything was exact and always checked with me during the process to make sure we were both on the same page. He is also a very easy going person to work with. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Jake!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
