"Crown home improvement got the project done quickly and did a fantastic job. They built the wheelchair ramp just the way we wanted it. It was to provide access to our 5th wheel travel trailer and it needed to be built so that it could be moved when we wanted to travel with the trailer"

"Awesome! He practically knows how to do anything!! I had him doing my husband’s to do list and he got about half of it done in one day. From there I kept adding to the list once I saw how good he was. My only concern I had/have is that he works by the hour instead of quoting a price for the job. I was pleased at how well he worked and the length of time it took to get the job done. He even shops for any parts you may need but be prepared to pay for that time since it is time he could be on a job. He worked on electrical and plumbing jobs and carpentry and even things like hanging TV’s on the wall! I definitely would recommend him!!"

"Simply outstanding!!! Every step in the process was timely and completed as promised. Every previous carpenter had recommended replacing the entrance door assembly, which would have cost three or more times the price to fix the problem. COMPLETED ON TIME AND BUDGET AS AGREED UPON!!! Canâ t say enough about my SATISFACTION!! SUPER â ¼ï¸ â ¼ï¸ â ¼ï¸"

"I spoke to William Wells. I honestly can say he is such a respectful and honest man. I had multiple companies come out and give me estimates but when I got ahold of Louisiana State Construction William put me at ease and came out and gave me a estimate on my roof which is a metal roof and he went through everything with me and just by the way he was so respectful and honest I had to go with him the price was just great as well! Thank you William"

Carpentry FAQs, 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. 

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. 

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
