"From the moment we first called Homeland we knew we had made the right choice for our sunroom. We cannot say enough good things about this company. They are finishing up our sunroom as we speak and they have done an amazing job for us. Communication was excellent, and every person who has come to work at our home has been kind, has listened and taken care of everything we neededâ ¦even with our continuous changes and additions to the project. I am so thankful that we found them. We have had a lot of work done to our home over the years, but Homeland will be who we call for anything we need in the future. Thank you so much."

"I hired Blade to redo our patio because it was leaking, he started the work, replaced the roof with aluminium, painted the existing frame of the patio the and tore out the old screen and installed Plexiglas plus installed a screen door, 2 months later the Plexiglas was cracking, I called Blade he told me he would call the manufacture, nobody called me so I called Blade again, he told me he was still waiting to hear from manufacture, so I called another pro to come out and look at patio enclosure and he told me the Plexiglas was not allowed to expand and contract, thus causing the cracking, Blade told me he would redo the Plexiglas almost a year ago, now every time I call he always has an excuse and my project is still not done and I have paid in full for the project"

"The job was a bit expensive, but it's not a small house, though a neighbor is getting their house done by someone else for $1000 less. The house and trim look good, until you get really close. House color on trim edges that should be a different color. All over spray wasn't cleaned up well, no masking was done. Lots of paint on the driveway, in the grass and on the upper deck. Areas in the yard where brushes and equipment were cleaned, or where paint was spilled are now dead, I will have to reseed those areas when it gets cooler. For the most part we are satisfied, but attention to detail was lacking."

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. 

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
