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>

Q: Can you live in a house with termite damage?

• <div><p>Living in a termite-infested home isn&rsquo;t just annoying&mdash;it&rsquo;s risky. These pests can quietly chew through wood, weakening your walls, floors, and even the structure of your house. On top of the safety concerns, there&rsquo;s the financial stress of repairs, not to mention potential health issues from mold or allergens stirred up by termite activity.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to repair a window frame?

• <div><p>Generally completed within a couple of hours, depending on damage extent.</p></div>

Q: Do brick houses have framing?

• <div><p>Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don&rsquo;t have traditional framing. </p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional for window frame repair?

• <div><p>Ensures proper sealing and alignment, preventing drafts and improving energy efficiency.</p></div>

Tim Myers did a fantastic job he had to do alot more to the front door opening to make the screen door fit right. And I'm so glad he did it look great! Tim Myers is a carpenter that takes pride in his work and it shows.

They did an excellent job! If anything, this project was overbuilt. This is the 3rd project that the Shirley brothers have done for me and they do excellent work. I had to wait in line to get them for this last project, but it was definitely worth it.

The project went very well, and we are very pleased with the final product. A large master bathroom and office were added on to the master bedroom. The current master bath was flipped around, so there was a second bathroom for the children. Kitchen cabinets were repainted in the process as well....

I do believe his hourly or by the job rate is expensive. Unfortunately, carpenters with ability are almost nonexistent in this area today. His work is excellent. I had looked for a qualified person for three years. But I must say in this area it is by word of mouth that service people are...
