"I reached out to Mike to repair some exterior trim that was damaged by woodpeckers and sparrows. Mike was responsive and very personable through the entire process. He and Juan were onsite exactly when they said they’d be and had the work completed within a few hours. The work was done to my satisfaction and their pricing was reasonable. I would hire Bedwell Construction again if I needed more work done."

"Adam did such an excellent job on our deck rebuild! His craftsmanship is top-notch, his vision is intuitive, and his willingness to perfect it to your satisfaction (and then some!) is so refreshing. We were so fed up with what to do with our aged deckâ to the point of just wanting to tear it down. Luckily, we found Building from the Hart. Adam basically took our 14-year-old, sad looking structure and turned it into an amazing new space with beefed up posts, diagonal deck board patterns, and a gorgeous pergola. He skirted the bottom with an apron of decking and meticulously set all the railings with iron posts. The finished product is fantastic, and we cannot wait to use it! -- In addition to his skill and attention to detail, Adam is a genuine, kind gentleman with an admirable work ethic and great sense of humor. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him, and we would highly recommend his services."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

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. 

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

You don’t need a cutting board. In fact, cutting is the original purpose of butcher block countertops. That said, wood is porous and can harbor germs. You’ll need to clean your countertop thoroughly after use. Knives can also scratch the surface. This adds to the patina of the wood, but not everyone likes the look—in which case, you may want to use a cutting board.
