"Very courteous and professional staff at Home Genius. Was very reliable company. However the time frame of the install did fluctuate a bit. I’m glad to say I chose this company looking forward to getting more additional work with them."

"J&W did a wonderful job building my brick steps and concrete walk way to the front of my home. A quick quote and a great price considering the current market for bricks and concrete. Mr. Brown went the extra mile and I will be utilizing this company next week to replace the side entrance steps. I highly recommend!"

"We are writing to share the great experience we had with LeonPro who we hired to build an enclosed deck at our house in Rockville. They handled all aspects of the project, including collaborating on the design, obtaining a permit, acquiring the materials, demolishing our old deck, and building the new one. We were impressed by how easy it was to communicate with Otari (the owner) and the construction crew. They were great at addressing our concerns and were flexible with the changes we wanted to make during construction. The construction crew were punctual (they even showed up when it snowed!), hard-working (worked from the moment they arrived until it got dark), communicative (we had the foreman's cell phone number and he would call/text whenever there was an issue), and well-informed (they made recommendations for additional features and were receptive to our questions/comments). They also cleaned up everyday before leaving for the day and kept the area looking neat. The quality of their work is impeccable and we truly feel that no shortcuts were made in completing the work. We are thrilled with the end result and would whole-heartedly recommend Deck Solder/LeonPro to anyone looking for a home-improvement contractor. We plan to use them in the near future to build a patio to complement the new deck."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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 primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
