"Lucas & Tiago did an amazing job. They are skilled carpenters who were easy to communicate with and made intelligent suggestions for implementing our unique stairway handrail design. Their work was speedy, efficient, and of the highest quality. Also they meticulously cleaned up after they finished. We could not be happier."

"I'd definitely recommend Melvin Power Wash! I discovered them through Angi.com and they contacted me right away and started the pressure washing project the following day. They're friendly and work really hard. Melvin really cares about customer satisfaction and they put so much effort into making the job perfect. It was great working with a company that takes such pride in their work."

"I hired Giacomini to paint the inside of my entire home. Wall, trim and ceilings. Maria was a pleasure to work with. She was here everyday, on time, and worked nonstop. Went above and beyond when I had a carpentry issue. She contacted carpenters she has worked with and they came the next day and had the issue fixed in a couple of hours at a VERY REASONABLE price. Thank you Maria for all your help and hard work."

"Miguel totally impressed me with his finish carpentry work. Took his time to make sure every detail was perfect!! He showed up on time and cleaned up his work area better than it was before he started. My 1st time using MD Remodeling, but definitely will be hiring him again to do more projects in my fixer upper house."

"As a result of our winter storms, I lost some of my vinyl siding and a piece of the rake. Alan was quick in coming on site to evaluate, to give me a quote and to repair the damage. I really can't say enough positive things about Alan and his staff. They did a great job and they are all very courteous, efficient and left the site very clean. I would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to refer them to family and friends!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
