"BJ and his crew from Mid Pac Services did a fantastic job over a period of 6 months. In addition to all the actual work they were also extremely helpful and professional in providing support and advice when it came to choosing vendors and providers and were there to receive the material and appliances if we were not able to receive. All the crew members were professional, punctual and very friendly; it was a pleasure to deal with BJ and all the crew members!"

"We had around 450 sq ft of deck and railing, as well as some major supporting structures in need of repair. Christian and his crew, Joshua and Stan, secured the railing, repaired the old deck and replaced deck posts, supporting beam and joists. We are very impressed with the quality of workmanship and the attention to detail.. Throughout the project, Christian was always available for discussion and feedback. Christian started and ended the project as proposed. We feel very safe and secure walking around the deck and we will call Christian again for our next home improvement project."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.

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.
