"We high recommend Matt English for your projects. He gave us an excellent price to repair an old farmhouse porch, not even knowing what was underneath as it was hidden by siding. His estimate was right on. He not only repaired the porch stability and leveled it, he also was very careful of our (new) roof overhang and our desire to retain the "old farmhouse" look. He then power washed the porch and steps, and added a handrail. Much to our surprise, the old grey boards were paint covered which he got off. The porch wood now looks like fresh aged wood, the cement steps are actually white with lovely colored pebbles in them. The entire project was a huge success. The porch is safe and beautiful. Matt was right on schedule, careful of safety and clean-up, and moved so fast. Do not hesitate to contact him to discuss your projects. He's a fun fellow and amazing in his skills and abilities. He listens carefully to what you need and want."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

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.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
