"I would recommend him to anyone considering a remodeling project of any size. He was very responsive from the first phone call, listened well to our wants and needs and made several creative suggestions to help us. He gave us a very detailed proposal and kept us informed each step of the way throughout the project. He stayed on task, came when he said he would come, did more than we even expected from him and he was kind, neat and trustworthy. We will definitely use him again."

"My wife and I called multiple contractors when it came to our basement remodel. Mike, at Regal Remodelers Inc, stood out to us and we chose him for our project. Mike was very responsive and made the whole process extremely easy and stress free. He worked with us on our vision, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it to. Antonio, his lead carpenter, was a pleasure to deal with and is extremely detail oriented. From always being on time, clearly taking pride in his work, and cleaning every day before he left, we couldnt have asked for more. Our basement turned out better than we could have imagined. If you have a home project, call Mike at Regal Remodelers Inc, you wont be disappointed."

Unfinished 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. 

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
