"At a time where it seemed a good reliable and available carpenter simply didnâ t exist in the area, Jeff took on a relatively small job for me on short notice, worked efficiently, conducted himself like a true professional, and delivered quality results. I recommend him in general, and wonâ t hesitate to call on him again as needed."

"I hired Tanner to build a small porch, replace some vinyl siding and do some other carpentry work. Tanner answered all my questions promptly and took the time to explain everything thoroughly . He showed up when he said he would, cleaned up the jobsite when he was finished and I was very happy with the quality of his work. I will definitely hire him again in the future."

"I hired Skip for removal of some furniture as I have physical limitations. Communication was easy with him from the start and I appreciated how professional and friendly he was. Skip is a gem of a guy. I look forward to hiring him again in the future and have already recommended him to friends."

"This company is fantastic. They went above and beyond what was required for a small project that I didn't have the time to do myself. It's so difficult to find good people to do these jobs, so I was really grateful for the fast, reliable, and high quality service. I would hire them again in a heart beat. They got right back to me when I initially made the request for service, and even though they said they were busy, they went out of their way to accommodate my request in a short span of time. They also communicated consistently and reliably when I messaged them about the project. This company gets my highest endorsement."

"Ryan came on time and quickly determined how the job should be done. He left the job area clean. I asked for an estimate for painting a wall. He was knowledgeable about the paint to use and gave me a reasonable quote"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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 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.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
