"Excellent. He squeezed us in with our very small project before he started on a big project. Destroying our old deck before installing new one, my yard looked like a war zone, had my doubts, but after the job completed, everything was perfect. Except for the deck. You couldn't even see what work was completed. Recommend him highly. Will use again..."

"Gave us a quote and a time frame, required half down the first day, things came up throughout the project which prolonged the time frame, but came the next morning and finished the job. He installed can lights in our kitchen and living room, and now those rooms are flooded with light! It feels like a new place! Thanks, Nathan!"

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. 

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors.
