"Went wonderful with the contractor. They were great to work with and helped us navigate a very troublesome insurance company. They drove from northern Virginia to silver spring to do the work as well, not any easy task and a long commute in traffic. They were just great."

"Kerwin is an absolute professional. Communicates on when arriving to complete a task, estimate timeline is always helpful. He's very responsive to my questions, and very knowledgeable. Very well rounded and an expert. He earned our trust to make the best decision for how some tasks needed to be done. His finished product is quality. Kerwin assembled our son's bed, a major closet, TV stands, an office desk, a book shelf and TV mounts. He handled all the fixing and repairs to our house to get it in proper shape to sell. We enjoy working with Kerwin, trust his expertise and work. He is our absolute go-to guy. We referred several family members to him and would 100% recommend him to anyone else."

"Our experience with Hugo Carpet Services was fantastic. After speaking with David on the phone, they came out the next day to look at the work that needed to be done and give us an estimate. We received our estimate the next day and they started the work 2 days later. They're extremely professional and punctual. We are extremely happy with the work and will be hiring them for future projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
