Q: Are beams and joists the same?

• <div><p>No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.</p></div>

Q: Do joists sit on beams?

• <div><p>Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals incorporate framing into existing structures?

• <div><p>By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of structural damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-of-structural-damage.htm">Signs of structural damage</a> include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. </p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of framing a window opening?

• <div><p>The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you&rsquo;ll pay for materials plus labor costs&mdash;anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-material-types.htm">type of window framing material</a>.</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.

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...

I was so happy when I saw what they were able to do with my kitchen. They did a wonderful job, even doing such a nice job that my kitchen was featured in Mid-South Magazine. The man in charge kept telling me "if it's not right, you tell me and we'll fix it" and they did. They were very creative...

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.

I have used him for several projects. He has never gone over budget, right at the estimate or even below. He is always done exactly what he said he would do and he is probably one of the best carpenters in the area.
