"So disappointed that Kevin subcontracted my roof project to another company! He sent a crew to my house that could not speak English and he was not at the jobsite to supervise. I had to call him repeatedly begging him to come over to the house and send a translator because the first crew was putting ice and water shield over the metal valleys and they were only adding one row of Ice and water shield to the eves!! He also said he was too busy to finish this week, and so he asked the subcontractors to put a tarp on my roof which did little to prevent water from getting inside. Because he refused to come to the jobsite and be the supervisor, the finished project was incomplete and now I need to hire a another company to finish the job and remove the roofing debris. When I tried to pay the final invoice, he added several hidden charges and when I said this was not fair, he said he will put a lien on my house for the $600 difference! What should I do? I guess he knows that it is cheaper for me to pay than to fight this. I don't know what to do?"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, joists are considered structural, as they support the flooring or roofing above them and help distribute the load to the beams, which, in turn, distribute that load to weight-bearing walls or foundational supports directly below them. Joists not only help distribute the load evenly to your beams, but they also provide direct support to the subfloor in flooring systems, which helps reduce creaking and the risk of uneven flooring.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Regular sealing, repainting, and checking for wood rot or pest infestations help maintain longevity.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
