"I had water damage to my kitchen and needed crown molding put back up. I called a few contractors who said my job was too small and they wouldn’t take it. Then RC Contractor LLC came across my search so I gave them a call. After telling Mr. Ray all I needed was crown molding work done he said no problem and sent over a worker right away. I’m very satisfied. The worker was very respectful to my freshly painted walls. He also cleaned up and took all the trash away. I highly recommend this company. I have someone else painting so that’s the reason for the two colors."

"I gave the dimensions of the cement slab I wanted and I was quoted over the phone. I didn't have to wait for someone to come out. Often times these contractors come out to see where you live and what they think you can afford to pay. If you live in a nice area, they double their fees. It's happened to me on more than one occasion. Giving me the price over the phone for the exact size I wanted made me feel like the contractor was an honest guy. The installation was arranged right away and the crew got there early. They focused on the job until they were done. They did an excellent job! Would recommend this company highly!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
