"A+ from start to finish. I have a newer build that is just over 4 years old and the deck had untreated wood used that rotted out an 8x8 support post and several of the joists. Clarence, the owner quickly responded and was out the following day to take a look at the project. He was very kind and honest and said he would have an estimate within 2 days. He had his deck builder out the next day, the estimate (very reasonable) the following day and said they could start the project the same week. You quickly learn in the OBX that getting an estimate for a project this time of year is a lengthy process let alone getting the work scheduled. I reached out to 4 vendors (including Gibbs), and 2 never responded and one was way over-priced. If the project isn't large enough, the not so great contractors will lie and tell you they'll get you an estimate and never respond. THANK YOU to Gibbs Daughters and Clarence for delivering a new beautiful deck with a very reasonable price and fabulous service. Watching your craftsmen work as they did was very cool. They are quite skilled and great at their trade. I will now only reach out to you for any work that is needed on my home. Thank you so very much!"

"Great honest contractors. They did my bathrooms, hot water heater, unclogged my house drain and they did a French drain so my basement is not wet anymore. I already hired them to do my whole roof in the spring. I will hire them anytime."

"When I decided to move ahead on a much needed roof removal and replacement, it was very hard to get anyone to respond. However, Michael was very quick to answer my call and get a quote. Eventually I was able to get quotes from 3 different contractors and they were all within $200 for each other, which I find amazing given it was a sizeable job. In the end I did not select American, only because they did not carry workers comp at the time. I understand they have since picked up workers comp. I do most home projects on my own but can't do it all on my own. I will certainly contact Michael for anything in the future I decide to hire out."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.
