"Tracy dismantled and hauled away our old wooden wheelchair ramp. He was very efficient and personable. As a senior citizen in very uncertain times, I was quite comfortable hiring him to get the job done. I've never had a contractor who cleaned up as he went. I was extremely happy with his work. I'd give him 200 stars!"

""Your Handymen, LLC", Jeff, Robert, and David, did Outstanding work once again for us. Their efforts brought three of our home's rooms back into style, and they are now more functional and look fantastic. I have never seen and enjoyed such great attention to detail and resulting A+ quality! Eg, Robert fashioned a new redwood door threshold with great precision to avoid trip hazards - it looked fantastic after stained. And, the Living Room ceiling repair exceeded my expectations. They were very experienced with all aspects of the work, this time, painting, flooring, plastering, plumbing, carpentry, wall paper removal, & sourcing. For my family, their respect for the homeowner's complete satisfaction, and trustworthy, professional and friendly nature is so appreciated. Thank you!"

"I had two wall sections with damage that needed to be repaired with new drywall and paint. Vitaly from Apex Design Build did a beautiful job on the walls -- I'm very impressed. I hope not to need that skill again any time soon, but I will certainly contact them the next time I need another wall repaired -- it's virtually impossible to tell there had been damage. He also adjusted a ceiling fan that had been installed by a friend (a mistake -- use a professional!) and it took him only 15 minutes. I have always been very impressed by how Apex Design Build cleans up everything when they are done working -- and they even took it away with them. Excellent work and in a timely manner for me."

Customers say: Quality work

"They were very diligent on getting the project done correctly even with some glitches in the materials. Tom went to bat for me with the supplier and was very fair in the pricing. Our new deck is beautiful. Even when the new deck posts needed replaced due to bad material, Tom did the research and made new recommendations."

"Nate did an excellent job. The fence posts were being ejected. He reset the bad posts and now the fence looks just like it did when it was new. He also fixed a bedroom door frame that was broken years ago. Excellent work, excellent price."

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. 

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

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.
