"RAP did a wonderful job power washing my house and paver patio. I live on a busy road and the house builds up a lot of dirt; the back of the house faces north and gets a lot of green buildup on the siding. After Rich and his crew powerwashed, everything is clean, bright and beautiful. The pavers came out great, too, they look like new! Easy to work with and a really good price."

"First met Mike when he repaired our deck. He was reasonably priced and efficient. Then we hired him to take down 1970’s era paneling, fix and paint walls, rip up carpet and lay new flooring. He also had to repair holes in wall and ceiling left by electrician after installing recessed lighting. We love the room now."

"In 2024 our self-managed their faced our largest project to date on our 1965 building. The balcony membranes and stucco needed to be replaced and repaired. We did our due diligence and had companies give us proposals and estimates. We decided on they're after inspecting other buildings, researching their methods and comparing prices. We liked that they use their own teams rather than sub-contracting the work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry. 

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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

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.
