"Adam, the owner of Magic Frog Carpentry & Woodworks is great to work with. He is responsive via text and phone conversations. He has a lot of skilled people he works with and does a lot of the work as well. When any hiccup comes up he is quick to get it resolved. This past fall I hired him to do a partial remodel of my kitchen (new countertop, new backsplash, new flooring and painting. I was happy with the work and decided to hire Adam again for a tub to shower conversion. I am really happy with the results of both projects. I plan on reaching out to Adam for the next home project."

"I called Flavio to repair a leak in my roof and he was wonderful to work with. He called me back as soon as I had made the request. He provided an estimate that afternoon, was back the next day to complete the work and I have had no trouble since. I would highly recommend him!"

"We needed to repair a leak around the chimney flashing and a window frame.... Customer service was good. Leak Seekers made appropriate customer contact, was good about scheduling reasonably fast after the two big rainstorms Southern Maine experienced in late December and early January when all contractors were out straight responding to repair requests due to storm damage. All work is covered by a one year guarantee and pricing was reasonable. Good people !"

"Dizzle Pro absolutely crushed our deck build. From the very beginning, his responsiveness was unmatched—quick replies, clear timelines, and constant communication throughout the entire process. You always knew exactly what was going on, which is rare these days. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. The attention to detail and overall quality is top-tier, and it’s obvious he takes a lot of pride in his work. Everything was done right the first time, and the finished product exceeded expectations. If you’re in Southern Maine and looking for someone reliable, professional, and truly the best at what they do, Dizzle Pro is the guy. Highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

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

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
