"Hired Marco to demolish old tin shed that had been there for 30+ years and haul away all trash around building. He did a professional job. And also a very nice young fellow. I would hire him again in the future . I would recommend him to anyone that needs a job well done. Thanks Marco. I am very pleased!"

"Cannot express the deep, deep gratitude for Mr. Demoine and his fantastic, expert crew! I contacted him as well as several other roofing companies immediately after the storm passed on Aug 30. He called back w/n hours to determine status and next steps. He told me he would be over as soon as he could get gasoline for his trucks; he was waiting on a promise from Mayor Cantrell to Provide gasoline two emergency and necessary companies. As he waited throughout the day for gasoline so he can get to me he called me back no less than FOUR TIMES to provide me with a status update! Who DOES that?! How many professionals have you worked with who have been so conscientious and so reliable? Well, D & D Construction destroyed and devastated that assumption. They were able to get to me on Tuesday, Aug 31 and immediately got to it and “got ‘er done!” They were so conscientious, thorough and obviously skilled that I told Mr. Demoine before he left that I had several minor and major project renovations that I had started prep for several years ago, but did not actually begin b/c I had not found the “right” company to do the work. Needless to say, I believe I have found the right company! Frankly, between me and all the great friends, colleagues and Veterans that I know who need reputable, ethical and professional grade construction work, I could keep his company employed for generations! I am very satisfied and impressed w/D and D Construction and have already recommended them to two other close friends who need exactly the same kind of expert care, concern and work ethic!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

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. 

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
