"Alex builds exactly what you are hoping for. In our case, Alex had an idea of how our front entrance deck would look. He clearly presented his idea with drawings and was very easy to work with our additional suggestions. His work is structurally SOUND and beautiful. The front porch turned out so nice that I asked him for another quote for a side deck. He had that job presented and built within two weeks. His son and nephew work with Alex and are very polite and good carpenters, as well. Excellent clean up. I'll be calling Alex again and highly recommend him."

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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