Electrical: 3 light switches, 1 outlet, 2 light tubes Plumbing: Flappers on both toilets, replaced whole kitchen faucet assembly Carpentry/locks: Replaced bent plate/dead-bolt assembly Outside: Removed & hauled away > 100' cedar privacy fence.

"I really liked JD. Thought the price was high for what I had done. I also asked for a quote to hang drywall and he said it was high due to two guys and two days work in case it took that long but he said cost of materials was $200 but the whole price was $3,300! The demo is already done so I don t know why labor would be so much! This is why I don t know if I would recommend them."

"I highly recommend contracting with Guy Green. He converted a 1952 pantry room under the basement stairs to an attractive half bathroom. Guy is knowledgeable from experience, reliable, considerate and easy to work with. He pays attention to detail. Due to the structure of our house, some plans needed revision. We always went with his recommendations. Itâ s easy to see he takes pride in his work. I couldnâ t be happier."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Professionals charge between $60 and $95 per hour to install ornamental porch columns. The amount of time they need varies based on the condition of the porch, whether they need to remove old columns, and if there is any damage to your porch's structure. This cost can increase if more issues come up during the installation process.

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. 

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
