"Mr. Gutierrez was pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. He arrived when scheduled, and emailed me to tell me he was on his way. His work was impeccable, and he and his crew cleaned up after themselves. I will certainly hire him again if the need arises."

"To say Chris and his team of expert carpenters "repaired and replaced" our sad, worn out deck is an understatement. What was a neglected deck of age is now a refreshed deck and boardwalk ready to welcome (safely) our neighbors, friends and family to enjoy the upcoming warm seasons lakeside. Chris and his team completed the project on time and on budget (with a few exceptions to uncovering unknown water damage - and even so, being very reasonable for the extra costs and labor). We would absolutely trust Chris and his team to do it all again, and so should you. Thanks, Chris!"

"Mendez Construction Company did an absolutely phenomenal job building our horizontal fence. It turned out stunning and completely exceeded our expectations. The work was done quickly, on time, and with great attention to detail. Santo was incredibly easy to work with, communicative throughout the entire process, and offered fair, transparent pricing. What truly stood out was their dedication. They worked through tough winter conditions to make sure the project was completed by the deadline, and that level of commitment is rare and greatly appreciated. Santo does so much more than fencing, and after this experience, I plan to use Mendez Construction for all of my future household projects. If you’re looking for quality craftsmanship, reliability, and a team that genuinely cares about their work, I highly recommend Mendez Construction Company."

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 building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
