"Calix provided us with excellent and highly skilled carpentry services on multiple occasions. They’ve done several projects for us now, including replacing a bannister on our stairs (which included a new hand rail design), replacing a step on our indoor stairs as well as our gazebo outside, and designing and building a set of built-in shelves and cabinets. Carlos’s work is extremely high quality. He has excellent attention to detail and is very professional and timely. We happily and gladly recommend him for any carpentry services."

"I highly recommend Edwin and his team at E&V remodeling and a variety of projects. They were true professionals and did a fantastic job with power spraying our siding and replacing all of our outdated window screen mesh with high-quality materials. They also knocked out several 'odd jobs' and exceeded expectations. They were professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. I look forward to working with them in the near future. Rod H."

Customers say: True professional

"Exceptional work! I hired FAMB Construction, LLC after interviewing quite a contractors (large and small companies) to replace my wood deck with Trex composite decking. Noel and Claudia are extremely professional from start to finish of the project and clearly communicated in detail what work was going to be done. Noel provided a variety of actual samples choose from and provided helpful details on how the project would be completed. My deck looks amazing and Noel even corrected some deck issues that were not within the scope of the project. I would highly recommend FAMB Construction for their high level craftmanship, professionalism, timeliness, and cost efficiency in completing my project. Truly a Five Star ***** contractor, no exaggeration."

"I highly recommend Walking miracles renovation for the work that employee, Danny Jones, a true craftsman, did to remove and replace rotten wooden lintels, one above a window and one in my alleyway, in my 1890â s vintage row house. Casey Jones, his son Ryan Jones and Danny Jones were honest, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with."

"Blackstone Kitchen & Bath provide a wonderful customer service experience from the initial estimation process throughout the product selection and the renovation. My finished kitchen far surpasses the dream kitchen I pictured in my mind’s eye. Junior Wizzart, Salesman assisted me with the product selection and kept me within my budget. Kadir, Project Manager, is very experienced in the renovation process and he shared his knowledge, expertise , and recommendations with me throughout the process since I was a novice in this area. Every Blackstone staff person and laborer who you interact with are professional and courteous. I have already recommended Blackstone Kitchen & Bath to family & friends. I will continue to do so. I am so happy with my new kitchen. Would I use Blackstone Kitchen & Bath for any future projects? YES! YES! YES!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

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. 

The boards between floor joists are called bridging or blocking boards. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system—with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle—and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Landscape timbers can last 10 to 20 years in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.
