"JC and his crew were amazing! They were professional and respectful of our privacy and property. JC was ALWAYS accessible for any questions we may have had. He finished the project for the price he quoted and in the time he promised. We have had JC do several other jobs in our home and he will always be the first contractor we will call for any future needs."

"Ken was great to work with. He’s very responsive and wants to make it as easy as he can for the homeowner. I do NOT like how the company does their pricing. They do not give you a set estimate for the project. They’d need to give me a fixed estimate and do change orders like a normal contractor or we would not hire them again. If they changed that we’d hire Ken again."

"The project went great!!! Hayden the general contractor was wonderful. He updated me each and every step of the process and always kept true to his word on cost, timeframe, and etc. I always felt I was in good and trustworthy hands as he and his team worked on each aspect of my garage conversion. He made sure each inspector who came for each area, mechanical, electrical, framing, insulation, and final were all handled efficiently and each one passed on the first try and I was even told by the inspector that they wished every inspection they did went as smoothly. If you need any project done, I highly recommend H&P general contracting. I will do any and all future home projects through Hayden and his company going forward. He definitely gets a 100 star rating from me."

From steam showers, large format tile installs, wainscoting and kitchen tile installs, Antonio always exceeded expectations. He and his crew pay attention to the details of each project to provide high quality professional installation. I have not been dissatisfied."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
