"There are 3 things I would highlight about the work of H Drywall: responsiveness, expertise and professionalism. Also (very important) - friendliness. It's not easy to find all of these in one company! Harry and his crew have been indispensable in getting us through several stages of custom projects in a timely manner. He's been quick to respond to our requests for help right from the start. The quality of his work is exceptional and we were delighted to find that he does painting as well as drywall since we need some specialized painting for a staircase project. Every member of Harry's crew has been thorough, meticulous, and courteous ensuring our satisfaction at every step. We continue to rely on HDrywall as we work through a series of projects. I can't overstate how lucky we feel to have found this company. I'm so grateful that Harry has been willing to work us into his busy schedule when we needed him. I recommend H Drywall to anyone who wants high quality work at very reasonable prices."

"Kyle did an amazing job in our home. He listened to everything we wanted and brought it to life. He took the time to explain everything to us and answered a million questions and his response time was very quick. His recommendations were awesome and it was clear that he had tons of experience in multiple areas. His tile design and installation skills are amazing. He has a multitude of talent in building and designing interior rooms from floors to ceilings and we are so happy with the outcome! We would definitely hire him again!"

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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. 

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
