"He promotes himself as a 30 year union carpenter. His workmanship and customer service was poor.

He subcontracted the painting out, who damaged my floor, he subcontracted the door installs out, doors didn?t close and was cut crooked, trim ends were not finished off, he pieced in baseboards in some areas, even though I bought long enough lengths for on one wall needed a joint piece. Every time I would bring a complaint to him, he would always say ?I?m not done yet.? But move on to another project. When I would let him know that it is taking longer than he said, he would say, I got guys coming and nobody came. After 1/2-2/3 of the way done, I fired him. In my opinion, he is an inexperienced handyman. The is nothing ?skilled? about his work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.
