"Overall extraordinary experience and exceptional craftsmanship with meticulous attention to detail from project beginning through the punch list. Cool, calm and thoughtful demeanor displayed by Ryan throughout project that was also projected from every one of the sub-contractors. A reflection of good leadership that speaks volumes of the overall team and the high quality expectations of not just the work itself but also the customer experience. The positive approach and "can-do" attitude at every turn of the project was refreshing and very much appreciated! The exceptional detail and craftsmanship coupled with the positive energy throughout made this a thoroughly enjoyable experience--even through very stressful times! Would definitely hire again and recommend to friends and family. Call Ryan Norman for your next project--you won't be disappointed!!"

"MMP was fantastic. They were easy to work with and did great work. We only had trouble with 2 sub-contractors during this project (Granite & Kitchen design) and they were the sub-contractors that my wife and I selected ourselves outside of MMP... we wish we had used MMP for everything because they did such a good job. I can't recommend them enough. We'd definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to anyone."

"Stephen helped us renovate our condo in Boston in 2021. The work included complete bathroom renovation, electrical work, and building new closets. He found great contractors who did an amazing job, he also took care of all the paperwork/permits/building management, and helped to select and buy all the materials and appliances. He is proactive, professional and helpful, and I'd certainly recommend working with him."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, 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. 

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
