"I had a great experience with this company. They contacted me regarding some roofing needs i had, and came out the same day to provide an estimate. The next morning they came and started project. Very nice, honest, and i was very satisfied with my roof afterwards. I would definitely recommend this company for any roofing needs!"

"Professional team who is centered on customer satisfaction and getting the job done right the first time. Jonathan did a fantastic job of fencing in the sides of my house, to include building a gate on one side. If you need a good quality fence that looks great and is reasonably priced, look no further!"

"Mr. Sam Burns was a joy to work with.  I know nothing about home repair/maintenance and Mr. Burns was patient as can be, explaining  the steps and reasoning behind individual tasks.   When our project to paint the interior of the home, spruce up the kitchen with new counter tops and back splash and update a bathroom mushroomed into some must do home repairs (roof repair/replacement, ceiling and carpentry repair)  He presented me with various options to consider to address each "surprise" encountered.  He was mindful of costs and our bottom line thru the entire project.  Once a plan was agreed on,  the work went very smoothly.   His crew was professional, skilled, worked steady thru the day and they were exceedingly polite.   You will be in good hands if you select Mr. BurnsÂ"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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’t have traditional framing.
