"Hired Greg for a full gut and remodel of a bathroom. Greg was very competent, personable, and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. He made us feel like we were in good hands. He took the time to make sure things were done the right way. The result was top notch, couldn't have asked for more. I would definitely use this company again!"

"We had a large bedroom and en suite bath that was in bad shape and needed substantial preparation work before painting and staining ceiling beams. We received a very fair estimate and then the team arrived. The team covered their shoes, laid down a covering over the stairs leading to the upstairs and then covered the rug leading down the hall. And then the tram spent substantial time getting the walls prepped.. The paint job and staining of the beams was done first rate. The team then cleaned the bath wiped down the furniture. We have asked for another estimate and plan to use Juan and company again."

"Tom was really great to work with. I requested an estimate for repairs to the vinyl siding on my house. He responded to my request for an estimate immediately and was even willing to inspect the damage and give an estimate on Christmas Eve. His price was more than reasonable and he came back and completed the repair within a few days. His work was beautiful and he meticulously cleaned up my yard once he was finished. I highly recommend Skyline and will absolutely use them again."

"Jose and his crew did an outstanding job on our extensive interior and exterior renovation, which included a new addition. The project covered everything from a new structural roof with shingles and skylights to new construction windows and doors, siding, a Trex deck, and fully renovated kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. They also refinished a bedroom and installed beautiful hardwood floors. As with any large project, a few unexpected challenges came up, but Jose handled them with professionalism and kept everything moving forward smoothly. His craftsmanship is excellent, and he’s not only easy to work with but also patient and highly skilled at problem-solving. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jose again for future projects and highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work and a reliable contractor."

"​A great experience from start to finish! The work Eddy and Berta did on our deck was handled with such care, moving swiftly yet thoroughly. They are true professionals—it is clearly in their nature to do an exceptional job. ​We are so glad to have found a small local company that delivers this level of high-quality work. Even though our job was a repair, they were able to get it all done in one long, dedicated day (all hands on deck!). They even threw in a perfect cleanup and a power wash. What a relief for us! Many thanks to Star Dynasty Construction!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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. 

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.
