"Excellent. When most contractors won’t even call you back and large multi state remodelers try to sell to you like used car salesmen, Kyle returns calls, shows up and performs excellent work for reasonable prices. Hire him, you won’t be sorry."

"We hired Dan to build our deck. The craftsmanship was amazing and we are very happy with how it turned out. The price was very reasonable. Communication, however, was not so amazing. There were multiple weeks where he did not show with no explanation. He asked us for the final payment before the project was finished. He is skilled as a contractor, but definitely needs help in organization and communicating with clients."

"We hired New Life Construction to get our old fence replaced. Sofia and her husband did an amazing job, they planned and executed everything so well that before you knew it our new fence was up. I will definitely be hiring them for any other future projects."

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.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.
