Customers say: Quick response

"The job to fix our deck was a very difficult challenge. There was a very tight space under the deck to shore up the decaying joice holding some floor boards. David & partner crawled under and placed a pressure treated joice against the non treated joice & nailed all of the floor boards to the new joice. He also placed perfectly colored tops over the new nails making them virtually invisable. I am very pleased with the solution and results. Especially given the very tight space they had to work in. I definately recommend All Season Construction. David & his partner were efficient friendly and easy to work with!!!! Gerry"

"These guys are honest, reliable and incredibly hard working! They have cleaned up a large yard and have kept it looking so nice; they also built and planted a new flower bed. Additionally, they put down landscaping fabric, mulched and anchored it so it solved a huge problem in our yard. Aurelioâ s crew also redid a garden at a rental property and did a mass clean out of the basement and garage. Finally, they repaired a Japanese arbor that was smashed in a wind storm. Next I am having them build a water feature! Highly recommend AMLâ we are so happy that we found them!"

"The crew were friendly and efficient. They did a wonderful job on my shed. I was also gratified that they would take on such a job as other roofers wouldn't touch this smaller building. The cleaned up the debris and they came on time and were done by Noon. Dave was great and kept me informed thru the week. I would definitely use them again for other jobs."

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. 

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
