"Just a super company. The owner was there to walk me through the process, listening to my needs and factoring them into the design. He was also there through the building - quickly resolving the minor issues and ensuring a great job and my satisfaction. I highly recommend him and his team, and would certainly use him again."

"Element Elite did a wonderful job installing a wall cut out pet door in our new home. They were flexible, very easy to work with, confident, trustworthy, and precise. The final cost was also reasonable and matched their estimate quote. I would recommend them to all my family/friends and will use them again myself if other needs arise!"

"Michael did an excellent job installing grab bars, showerhead and shower seat. He consulted with us at every step to make sure everything worked for our needs, looked great, and was completely safe for our use. The job was done the right way the first time. He is also very personable, chatting with us and still working very quickly. We highly recommend his work. It's beautiful!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

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