"Justin Greenberg was recommended to me for work to be addressed at our 1830’s farmhouse property. Initally I needed to have a small barn/woodshed rebuilt including, siding, roofing, window installation, and painting. The project was completed successfully, within my budget and on time. Justin’s carpentry skills were used to refurbish a utility trailer. An old split rail fence was in need of repair and he secured the materials to bring the fence up to par with the existing fencing. Several of our mature trees needed a degree of topping/trimming. Justin proved to be skilled in this area of landscaping. Justin installed an electric wench/lift in the barn to raise our lawn/garden tractors for servicing. In short, Justin is my go-to handyman for small and large projects ."

"Mr. Canales arrived, reviewed the repairs needed, & gave me the price to complete the work. I agreed and then he proceeded to repair the soffit & fascia. I needed it done right away before the next storm with wind made more damage. I was pleased to have it repaired so promptly."

"Paul Davis Restoration of Delmarva built my composite deck on a challenging work site. The new deck has custom steps, ramp, and benches. The deck skirting is unique and gorgeous. We are extremely pleased with the design and workmanship and have received many compliments from friends and neighbors. I want to thank Brian Rush, Josh, Brittney, and Christina. I especially want to thank Brian Pittman and his crew, Collin and Shawn. It was a pleasure dealing with everyone at Paul Davis."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
