"Led contacted me right away and came to my house the next day to review the work. My 25 year old mahogany deck had seen better days, and was in need of refreshing. Led and his man hammered every nail flush, sanded the entire 500 sq/ft deck and then power washed it to remove all of the "dust" from the sanding. They did a great job, worked hard and cleaned up perfectly afterwards. I would hire him again for any deck, roof, siding or any general carpentry work."

"Jason is a first class contractor. We hired him to build a deck, refurbish our outdoor shower and built two patios. Outstanding workmanship, kept the work area neat and clean during construction, fair pricing and followed through with everything that he said he would do. A great find and would recommend him to all. Thank you!"

"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."

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.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
