"Josh Masters of Masters Interior Carpentry came out to our home three separate times: Once to evaluate the project and two to complete the project. In addition to our three-door installation, he and his partner also did additional work for us at our request: Hung two ceiling fans, installed bath/shower/tub/ plumbing and light fixtures and laid wood flooring. While Josh may be newer to the industry than some of the other handymen we interviewed, he is kind, thoughtful and a hard worker who is very eager to learn. He is also flexible in his scheduling and in his willingness to perform additional tasks as necessary. I would not hesitate to call on Josh in the future should I be in need of repair or replacement services for my home."

"The repair went well and looks good. I had to provide all of the materials and do all of the preparation. But for the cost, it was fair. And the carpenter cleaned up afterwards and left everything stacked nicely. The experience was a little less personal than I typically like.

"Barry was very professional and very easy to work with. He is very good about video communicating and keep to his time and day. He was very flexible as well. Prior to the day of the repair I thought of replacing the current door with a sliding door so I reached out to Barry to see if he could come out and take a look at it. He made the trip and accommodated the change. On the day of the service he showed up close to the time agreed on and did a great job. He left the place clean and tidy after he was done and the job looks great. Will definitely think of him for any future needs."

Customers say: Quality work

"Very satisfied with the quality of work that was performed by Jason of Hammer Flooring. He takes great pride in the craftsmanship of his work and made sure we were satisfied every step of the way. We had Jason custom build some post for our stairs and they turned out exactly how we hoped for. I will be using Hammer Flooring again and recommend them to anyone."

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. 

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.
