"Everything about this company is top notch. They started the work several weeks ahead of schedule and finished in less time than expected. They treated the project like it was their own and offered suggestions to keep the cost down. Since I donâ t live in the area they kept me updated on the progress with pictures and kept in constant contact. Never had to wait for a return call. Mike is the best. On the day he came by to look at what needed to be done and provide an estimate, he saw that some of our boards on our back deck steps were loose. His comment was, â I donâ t want to anyone to get hurt so let me just fix that now.â And he did. And that had nothing to so with our initial project. He is the sweetest man and very trustworthy. I highly recommend Happy House Home Improvement for any project you may have. One of the comments he said to me on his initial visit is that he wants to be the company that we go to for any work that needs to be done. Well thatâ s a given. They did a beautiful job and I will certainly use them on future projects. Well done Mike and thank you."

"Fantastic and professional. We have a small house and lost some of our gutters to a snow storm, so we decided to renovate the rest of our gutter system while repairing the damaged sections. Working with HGE was a refreshingly positive experience. All of their team members were courteous, straightforward, and responsive. The work took two days with a weather interruption in between, but communication was prompt which let us accommodate the weather. All in all, great company. I just wish they did fencing so I could hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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. 

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. 

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.
