"I had a great experience with Hedington HVAC and Remodeling! They were professional, dependable, punctual, and extremely easy to work with. They took on a variety of projects around my house including fence installation, painting, and several smaller construction projects, and did an outstanding job on all of them. The quality of their work was exceptional and it was obvious they took pride in everything they did! I was extremely pleased with them and will certainly be using them again! I would highly recommend them."

"We had the best experience with Brady s Construction than anyone we have ever had doing work for us! They were there whenever weather permitted. The crew was always busy removing all that needed to be done to prepare for out new porch for family functions. All were very mannerly and answered any and all questions that I or my husband had. Even the crews that were contracted out were very good at their speciality. As soon as we are able we will definitely have them back for some more renovations/upkeep! Thank you so much for our beautiful new porch!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

Before hiring a carpenter, the most important thing is to make sure they are properly qualified and insured for the job. It’s more than reasonable to ask your prospective carpenter for customer references, as well as about their licensing and insurance. You should also consider choosing a carpenter that specializes in your specific project area to ensure high-quality results. 

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.
