"It went extremely well. Jaime Rea and his crew were consumately professional. They finished their beautiful work on time and on budget. Jaime was great at communicating with me along the way. The siding went so well, that we then asked Jaime to help us with new rails (cable and cedar) on the deck and up the exterior stairs. He and his crew did a terrific job, again. Highly recommend Jaime Rea and Rea Pro Construction!"

Thank you, Victor!!"

"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

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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. 

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
