Hello, my name is Aaron, and I'm a 4th generation carpenter, starting back nearly 100 years ago, with my great grandpa Oscar, a cabinet maker in northern, rural NY. I am licensed and insured and have been given an A+ rating by the Better Business Bureau. Our company slogan is "if you're not happy, we're not done yet". Our goal is to be your go to home improvement provider, and hopefully, for you to refer us to family and friends as well. In order to achieve that goal, we strive to do quality work at an affordable price and we stand behind everything we do. Our area of expertise is residential remodeling. This is what we SPECIALIZE in! Many other companies know how to do things in a new construction setting, but they don't have the decades of experience working on old houses like we do! Our years of experience working on old homes gives us the foresight to ensure your job will be done correctly, and as efficiently as possible, without creating problems for you down the road, or incurring unneeded expenses. If you have a project you need help on, please please give us a call! We are looking forward to helping you out! P.S. Angileads charges alot of money to contact customers on here, so if you just have questions, or not sure if you want to start a project, don't create a lead, look me up on Google or Facebook instead and I'll be happy to chat about what you're dealing with. Thanks

"Aaron Titus did a beautiful job in a timely manner. He was pleasant to work with and went above and beyond the scope of the job to ensure we were pleased,"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
