"The father and son team of Scott & Chris Lindholm did an excellent job of installing our 8 windows and 1 storm door. Several window sills and frames had extensive rotting that required new framing to accommodate the new replacement windows. The Lindholm team had the experience and proper tools to accomplish the work in a timely fashion. They did an excellent job, were courteous and policed up the refuse generated from the demolition and hauled it away. We feel very confident in recommending them for any carpentry work you may need performed."

"I have reviewed Zzeo's before when they came to frame and expand our closet. We were so pleased with them, we had them come back and do a lot of things that needed attention. They can do anything, and do it well. Once again, prompt response to our phone calls, and came over the next day. Such a relief to have these guys to rely on! You can't go wrong when you hire Zzeo's!"

"I cannot recommend him highly enough. He focuses on the job, so much so, that my wife and I had to encourage him to take an occasional day off. Our kitchen needed the entire flooring to be redone, the cabinets had to be replaced, all the appliances replace, the sink, etc. Huge job. We also needed the flooring fixed in our living room and bedrooms. Needed paint job down stairs, carpeting on the stairs needed to be ripped up, and on and on. Top level work in every area. For only part of the job we had been quoted by a different contractor almost twice as much. And for all of this you could reasonably expect three to four months. Nope four weeks and THAT was only because the suppliers kept jerking us around with the deliveries. I'll be writing another review about the work he did replacing our entire back deck. But for now, can't say enough good things about him"

"I highly recommend these gentlemen! They not only repaired the water damage in our bathroom, but made it look better than before the damage! They were there for a couple of days and every afternoon when they left, there was no mess left behind of any kind! I will definitely contract with them again! Their name says it all!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

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.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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.
