"We had another great experience with the Cornerstone Design & Build team! They did an excellent job on our deck and completely gave it a new look. The team showed up exactly when they said they would and were very easy to work with throughout the entire project. In just three days, they removed our old deck and built the new one. They handled everything from start to finish, which made the whole process completely stress-free for us. They also did a great job cleaning up after themselves and left everything clean and organized, with no mess behind. We’re very happy with how the deck turned out and would definitely recommend Cornerstone Design & Build to anyone looking for a reliable, professional team. Thank you again for the great work!"

"We are very pleased with the work ethics of this company. Our deck had a two board step around three sides and we wanted to widen it by one board. Finished step has perfectly mitered corners, looks much better than the original step and is much safer. Would rate this company 10 stars if available. Will definitely refer my friends and family."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
