"I started a DIY project replacing the tread-boards on the front exterior stairway to my house. Once started, I found the stringers (boards that support the treads) were split and pulling away from the house. Now the project was over my head, and I found Mark and IHS Construction through Angi. Mark arrived the following business day to provide an estimate and was able to squeeze my project in the same week. He and his team worked a long day to completely retrofit the staircase with new stringers, treads, and kick-boards while saving the original handrails and balusters. I couldn't be happier with his professionalism, craftmanship, and responsiveness. Five stars!!!"

"My husband is no longer able to do the maintenance on our house, or advise me. There was rotting trim wood, that needed to be replaced, at the roofline of our house. I contacted Angie on a Sunday nite. The next day owner Roland called me, we met the next day. He was able to fit in the needed repairs 1 day later and take a piece of wood to the paint store to match the color. The result looks perfect!!"

"I have to say that Boyce and his crew were amazing from the very beginning until the finish. All the other contractors I had come out asked me what I wanted to do and Boyce assessed the situation with my deck and told me what we needed to do. I had two other contractors from angis list out and neither even considered these things that needed to be addressed. Once we discussed all estimates and contractors Boyce and Gault services was the one to go with. Now that the project is complete we couldn’t be more satisfied with the work they did. I can honestly tell you that not one contractor would have done remotely close To what they did. It is an amazing job and we are extremely happy!"

"Danny was friendly, professional, courteous about rescheduling and did a fantastic job hanging blinds on 24 windows in my new home. He also cleaned up all of the boxes, which was an added bonus! I would hire Danny for any house project needs."

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. 

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.
