I’m a full-time carpenter and remodeling contractor based here in North Carolina, and I take on select side projects for homeowners who want quality work done right the first time.\n\nMy background is in residential remodeling and carpentry, with hands-on experience in everything from framing and structural work to finish carpentry and detailed installs. I’ve spent years working on full home renovations, investment properties, and custom projects, so I understand not just how to build something — but how it needs to perform long-term.\n\nFor smaller jobs and side work, I focus on projects where craftsmanship actually matters. That includes things like:\n\n* Deck repairs and framing\n* Interior carpentry (trim, doors, accent walls)\n* Exterior repairs (siding, fascia, rot repair)\n* Flashing and water management issues\n* Punch-list and “fix it right” work after other contractors\n*Backsplash install and tile repair \n*Drywall repair \n*Interior and exterior painting

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. 

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
