"I called Brian to get an estimate on my motherâ s deck railing repair and received a call back within minutes. Brian took the time to schedule an onsite meeting and provided her with a fair estimate and date to start the work. He began the work on time, as scheduled, and provided her with his expert finish carpenter named Josh. Josh completed the railings and replaced the deteriorated steps in a professional and expertise manner. We highly recommend Brian and his crews for any deck and railings repairs. They did such an excellent job that my mother also had him do a total remodel of her bathroom, which has just been completed. Brian offered suggestions for the remodel, which she went with and is extremely satisfied with the finished product. We highly recommend Brian Morris for all your Deck, Bathroom, and ANY remodeling needs. He is an honest and trustworthy Craftsman, which is hard to find these days. We look forward to having Brian work on our next project very soon."

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. 

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.
