Are porch columns load bearing?

• <div><p>Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-find-out-if-column-between-foyer-dining-room-living-room-decorative-or-load.htm">ways to identify a load-bearing column</a>, 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.</p></div>

How do you calculate framing costs?

• <div><p>The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. </p><p>To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.</p></div>

Hello, my name is Tyler! I have been working in residential construction for the last seven years. Primarily in renovations, I have developed many hands on skills and acquired many of the tools it takes for the job. I am very comfortable working inside or out of a house. I would love to take a look at any renovation work you have!

"Searched for handyman service for variety of projects. Found one through Home Advisor/Angi app that serviced the area of the home that needed repairs. Called Dakota who told us she works for Tyler Handyman Service and given her the basics of the scope of repairs need. She provided us her phone number for contact. She was also given a copy in PDF form of the repairs for reference. On 10/14/23, Dakota said she was going to the house about 1-130pm. She was given the lockbox code for access since house is vacant. She texted that she need to get some supplies from Home Depot and then provided a picture of the receipt for reimbursement and provided her Venmo QR code. My boss, Joy, reimbursed Dakota for those expenses. Dakota said she was going back to the house to take care of the few items. She was to do a removal of a heater in the kitchen, but was not done. The homeowner eventually removed it themselves. Locks on the windows were not correctly installed-hence the windows cannot open, and did not do any of the storm windows repair or installed. Dakota said she will need to go back on Monday 10/16/23 at 11am. I sent her a reminder on Sunday night 10/15/23 without a response. I texted and called on Tuesday 10/17/23 and Wednesday 10/18/23 with out a response. Goes to voicemail and then mailbox is full so unable to leave any messages. I have tried calling Tylers Handyman Service and the phone number is no longer in service"
