"The job was done with multiple cancellations and changes after the contract was signed. This is on the contractor side. The person he hired to do the house power wash left a portion of the house under the deck unwashed. The contractor took my personal information l provided to Angi and transferred it to another website without my consent. I will not use this contractor again. I am also considering not using Angi again. I think the company has gone downhill from what it was. Maybe it is managed by new owners."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
