"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."

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. 

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
