"Outstanding concrete leveling service! Their concrete injection/mud jacking work was precise, efficient, and highly professional. They lifted and leveled the slab perfectly, restoring the area without any mess or complications. The team arrived on time, explained the process clearly, and delivered excellent results at a fair price. I highly recommend their concrete leveling services!"

"Home Reimagined was given the daunting task of updating our 1947 Cape Cod home to accommodate our aging health issues. This required significant modifications to our family room, kitchen, and dining room. The suspended ceiling panels were falling, lighting throughout was poor, and storage was a problem. In addition, floors were unlevel. To avoid going up and down the basement stairs to do laundry, we wanted to have a stackable washer/dryer installed in the dining room. While we were thinking big, as wanted a dishwasher---as we’ve never had room for one, and an island. “So let’s knock out a weight-bearing wall and expand the kitchen”! Nate the owner never blinked an eye. He was calm and throughout the process he was driven by our happiness and dreams. When we needed guidance, he offered advice. He kept us informed at every turn and handled the challenges of the old home and us old folks with a smile. The bottom line was our dreams and vision were not only made real, Nate made them bett"

"Josh Babcock did excellent work. He communicated well with me, was very easy to work with,and was quite thorough. I had a big shed and he found out it was too bad to repair so we decided to take it and all the huge shrubs around it totally down and he built a new one to my liking . He also did well on several small indoor projects. I would definitely hire him again. And each day- he always cleaned up the construction messes! That’s not something some construction people do."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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. 

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
