"Mark and his crew went above and beyond what we had hoped. He provided skilled design advice, advised us on available materials, and listened carefully to our requests, always ready if necessary to say you really don t want to do it that way. The whole crew was easy to work with and we highly recommend any or all of them if you re building or refurbishing decking."

"We have worked with John and his crew before, and they never disappoint. We are now living out of town and thanks to John we were able to complete work on a condo we own in a very short window of time. He is efficient, very trustable, reliable in every way and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He leads a very good crew also. In this job, they repaired drywall, replaced baseboards, added new quarter round, redid the entire flooring in the unit, painted, and they were willing to do lifting and moving furniture to accomplish this. I would rate John at 5 out of 5 in every area, and I would not use anyone else in or around Wilmington, NC. Thank heavens for his strong work ethic, and his knowledge and expertise, and his ability to organize his crew within a short time frame!"

"Roland came out the same day I requested a quote. The work was scheduled next business day. Both he and his team were timely, courteous, and professional. He was straightforward about the scope of the work and updated me in advance of any changes. The quality of the final work excellent."

"Kirk put in gutters, fixed the front doorfram and did some drywall patchwork. Arrived right on que at 8am and worked really hard outside in 105 weather in Wilmington. Great communicator with good ideas on ways to fix thing giving cheaper alternatives to full remodel fixes that really did not need to be done. Really looked for our finances and was very reasonable. He’s now my go-to Handyman for our rental."

"Nick competed with the various shower remodelers in the area. He installed a tile shower, tile floor and painted two rooms for less that the cost the others quoted for the shower only, and the others did not use tile but the panels. The tile work was beautiful and we were very pleased with the work. I wanted some special plumbing, so I purchased several items and Nick and I settled the final cost very equitably and Nick was very generous in the allowances for the materials I provided. The final check and clean up was done well and we were very pleased with the job and finances. i would recommend Creative Concepts highly"

"David and his team were great, very friendly and professional. We discovered some rain damage while working on the balcony deck and David was very fair in pricing the additional work and not holding my feet to the fire. I would highly recommend Presley and in fact, already have to a friend"

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. 

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.
