"I had two drywall issues, one was with the living room ceiling caused by a roof leak, and the other with my garage ceiling caused by me stepping through it from the attic (doh!). I was contacted by Mark, the owner of M&K Homes, after going through Home Advisor. Mark's bid was not the cheapest of the contractors that contacted me, but he was the most personable and sold me on why paying a little more for his company would be worth it. This was a two day job. Day one was doing the repair and day two was texture and finishing. Both ceilings were originally finished with a "knock down" texture. Mark communicated with me every step of the way, so I knew what to expect and when to expect him. He showed up right on time both days. Mark was very careful to cover everything with drop cloths and plastic curtains to keep the dust off of my furniture. He was very professional right down to giving me a written estimate and how he handled himself throughout the process. The repair and texturing came out perfect! If you need work done and want it done right by a professional that does what he says he is going to do, then you need to call or hire M&K Homes!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
