"The Special Construction co. did an amazing job in wrapping my windows in aluminum siding and sealing them. They were courteous and expedited the job in less time than they initially quoted. I was so pleased with the work that they did that I am already scheduling another job with them. This is one company that you should definitely use over and over!"

I live in Worcester and work from Schoharie to Oneonta and Cooperstown to Stamford (or thereabouts). We do old house remodeling, exterior painting/restoration and everything in between.

"Painting exterior! Entire church with repairs to special wood designs on the Ginger Bread construction structure. Kalindi House LLC, have truly transformed the white Church into this beautiful, inviting piece of art. Kalindi is the artist who looked at our stained glass windows and colors on the pipe organ, then presented these paint colors to our church members with her drawings. Kalindi took the time after beginning one side, to also meet and adjust some colors for a better contrast which highlights all the construction design characteristics built into the panels, displaying the people in the steeple, windows and doors. The pictures are absolutely amazing, but to see it in person is majestic. Ed has been wonderful repairing and replacing all the rotted wood specialty designs on the reliefs and eves. Their attention to detail and meticulous work ethics are very rare to find. We are very blessed to have kalindi & Ed, who have been so caring, understanding and patient with us."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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 can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

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.
