"Joe and his crew are prompt, efficient and do excellent work. We first had them build steps from our screened room to ground level so that we could then better visualize the deck portion of the overall project. The work on the steps was perfect and so we then had Joe come back to help us with the size, rails, and placement of steps to access the yard. Joe has experience that comes through when he is helping with visualizing the end product. We rate Joe and his crew with Deck Doctors with the highest rating."

"The guys at SeeLevel did a great job with our interior trim projects. They provided a room by room estimate which I had requested. They showed up on time and were attentive to my wife's visions of what she wanted done. They completed all the projects which included multiple rooms of shiplap and multiple rooms of board and batten in 2 days. We are very pleased with the results and will definitely use them again."

"We hired Pinnacle Construction for a complete bathroom remodel and are exceedingly pleased with the result. Jason was our construction foreman and was outstanding. All of the subcontractors along with Jason were polite, professional, efficient, and highly skilled. To all Northern transplantsâ finding it frustrating to deal with contractors who show up when they get around to it, seemingly oblivious to timelines and communication, and lack a sense of pride in workmanship; Pinnacle Construction and owner Bobby Hounsell offer all that is exceptional in home construction. They are clearly committed to meeting the needs and aspirations of their customers."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

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.
