"Travis recently completed the rebuilding of my deck. He was such a pleasure to work with. He went far beyond what was needed for the deck---adding features which greatly enhanced the project. He did it all--on time--and always with a smile on his face. Would not hesitate to refer him to anyone."

"I searched this app for someone to finish our basement and MH Contracting was one of the recommended contractors. Man are we glad! Mike was very professional with the initial meeting where we discussed our vision for the basement. He listened to our ideas and gave us some direction as well which we really needed. He sent the quote and a CAD drawing of the layout. Their cost per square foot was very fair to other quotes but something drew me to Mike. We were set to start in the fall which was the height of Covid and then we got sick. Mike was very flexible with pushing the start schedule out a couple of weeks for us to get better and to make sure our house was clean and sanitized. When they started all protocols were taken. Mike?s entire crew was very professional and were wonderful in answering our questions and open to discussing our requests along the way. All in all, so very accommodating and the end result was amazing. They were involved in all aspects of the job from framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting and finishing. Nothing was left unattended by someone from Mike?s crew. We have recommended MH Contracting to our neighbors and have found our contractor for every project moving forward. I never write reviews but knew I had to this time because our basement is now an integral part of our home. It?s absolutely beautiful!"

"We hired Sutter Home Solutions to build a deck for our house. We were blown away by their professionalism, customer service, quality of work and affordability. This is a small, family operated business and working directly with the person/people who are doing the work is a huge plus. We couldn t be happier and will never look elsewhere for any future home improvement needs."

"Jesse and team did a great job on a closet. They framed, did new dry wall, hung no-fold doors, finished and painted. They do quality work, keep a clean job site, and are thorough. We appreciated Jesse?s professional and friendly approach."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
