"We are very pleased with our new deck and screened porch. We met with four other companies, and North Carolina Deck and Railing was by far the best choice. They listened to what we wanted, worked with us to stay within our budget and gave us ideas to build the porch just as we had envisioned it. Corey was easy to work with and Ross and his crew were professional and kept the lines of communication open, checking with us frequently to make sure we were getting what we wanted. The work was completed in a timely manner and the crew did a great job of keeping things cleaned up at the end of each day. We have already received many compliments on both the deck and porch and have recommended North Carolina Deck and Rail to several neighbors. Their workmanship, communication and professionalism was outstanding."

"Our 25 year old deck was starting to rot through in places, time to replace it. Hired Alan's team to rebuild it completely. They went above and beyond adding extra support posts that weren't there before and promptly & fairly dealt with unexpected wood rot that needed repair that was discovered under the flashing of one of the old ledger boards. Alan was always responsive over text. Thanks Alan, Tracy and Calvin, the finished product looks great. Also had them fix some door frame wood rot issues."

"Miguel and his crew came to replace our entire backyard fence as well as add a gate to a section of fence. The value for what he did was very worth it. His price for fence replacement was more than half the price of a larger company. There were a lot of small details of the finished job that we let slide due to the price we paid (left some trash behind, didn't dispose of some of the fence post foundations) I will be honest and say that it was a bit difficult to communicate with Miguel at times but we were able to talk through what I was looking for. He is very friendly and respectful and I look forward to hiring him for other contracting jobs around our house!"

"Benito is absolutely AMAZING to work with. His team built our dream patio for our new home including pouring the concrete, building a roof and running electricity. His quote came in much better than other larger companies. His team was able to complete the project in 2 weeks. He presented ideas that helped us make the space better. I was in constant contact with Benito throughout the project via texts and in-person conversations that really made sure we were on the same page. This addition has transformed our home and we couldn’t be more happy with how this turned out."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
