"I couldn’t be happier with the drywall work that was completed. The craftsmanship was exceptional from the smooth finishes, clean seams, and great attention to detail throughout the repair. The work was completed on time, the drywall guy kept it clean, and communication was excellent from start to finish. It’s clear that this drywaller takes pride in their work and strives for perfection. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality drywall installation or repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
