"Mr. Pickett was honest and prompt with his quote and work. No surprises at the end. If there were unforeseen circumstances he addressed them with the best possible solution. He also remodeled my master bath at the same time. Installed two interior doors. All on an emergency type time frame as we needed to move across country as soon as possible for family. His prices were below market and very fair. He did his best to keep as close to his original quote as possible even with unanticipated project surprises. I would use him again if I were staying in the area and recommend him."
"Eric was great; he came out and actually measured the area in need of repair, giving a very accurate estimate for the project. He even came back to the house when rain interfered with getting on the roof. Even with the spring storms he was able to have my project completed within the time frame he initially gave. My wife and I are very impressed with the work and the house looks much better. He even added trim to areas along the roof that previously did not have trim; which balances the look of the house. We already had a painter working on the house and getting the wood work completed in such a timely manner was very helpful. "
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.
By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
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, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.
