"Mr. Arzeyuth and his crew restored my haggard garage to better than new condition. They patched all nails that were popping out. They methodically repaired the seam tape which was falling in places and really looked bad. The painting made everything look new. The job was professionally done in a timely fashion. It is beautiful!"

"We were extremely happy having Wilber's Painting to do the work. The staffs are courteous, the carpenters and painters are very professional and take the time to make sure everything is done correctly and to the highest level. For the paint job it is just superb. They finished it much faster than I expected but still looks fantastic, and definitely way much better than I do it myself. Also I am glad they used primers and paints that don't have a strong smell as we were living in the house while the work was being performed. Now we are considering to have the exterior to be painted as well, and for sure we will hire Wilber's Painting."

"Renovo came quickly to look at the project, explained what needed to be done and gave me an estimate of the cost. Then he returned the next day to perform the work. It was a great experience. I would definitely recommend them for any siding/roofing repair."

"I hired this company to replace my roof dumpster was delivered one day before they started the job. Very hard-working guys, they remove all shingles on a 20 square roof within 2h. unfortunately the plywood was bad and need it to be replaced these guys did something that no company would do it they removed all plywood did framing repair installed 5/8 plywood and charged me only for the cost of plywood. I give them 5 stars for the job that they did and i will never deal with any other company besides HomeMaster."

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 primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
