"Dealing with Bilt-Rite and owner Mike Ferraraccio was a pleasure. From the design to the finished project it was a very streamlined process and communication was bar none. The workers were very professional and competent. The owner visited the work site several days per week to ensure schedules and timelines were being met. It’s not often you can put your complete trust in a company but we did with Mike and Bilt-Rite. We would not hesitate to work with them again."

"Quick installation, affordable and professional. It was a great experience working with Mike. He was very friendly and helpful. He even did some small works that were not part of the job and taught me how to do some it so I wonâ t hurt myself in case I need to do it in my own. This is my first time hiring him and certainly wonâ t be the last. I highly recommend this company!"

"The staircase in our home had separated from the wall and the support under the stairs had been compromised. Jim was able to not only provide updated support to the staircase, he was also able to reposition the stairs to their original position. The stairs are now even more secure, while still looking completely original to the house. In addition, he repaired a broken railing.
All this work, which included having to go through a plaster wall, was cleaned up perfectly. I was extremley happy with the results and will definitely be using Jim again in the future.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
