"Everything went as good as I possibly could have imagined. The entire crew was professional, accommodating, friendly, talented. The whole project was 1st class work, including the custom work done on the gables and eaves due to termite and water damage. The tie-ins to the 2 flat sections, along with the silicone coating were very well done. Quality materials were used throughout. Everything was cleaned up beautifully. The price made me cry, but was very fair and well worth it. I sleep so much better now knowing I have a premium roof on my house. Jacob and Jeremy Hodges are a pleasure to work with and Victor's carpentry skills were outstanding, as was his crew of great guys. I would recommend these guys and this company to anyone who is looking for top quality work done in a very timely manner."

"Contacted several roofing contractors in the area. His quote was near the low end. I am a contractor, so I know what to expect. He showed up on time and provided an estimate quickly. Gave a truthful response to when he could start which could have cost him the job, but I waited. Finished the job in three days with a crew of seven. Removed all debris and swept for nails around the house and driveway. Replaced two layers of shingles (approx. 4K sqft), five skylights, five sheets of damaged plywood, jacked up one roofing rafter, installed all new flashing and vent jacks, and replaced all reverse board and batt on chimney. At no charge, he installed 60 feet of gutter screens which matched the gutters! It felt like a friend came to do the work. Two weeks later and he called to make sure we were satisfied."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
