"Javier painted my 25x10 deck and ceiling above it. He was prompt onetime and did a good job. There was a mix up in the color of the paint which was not his fault. I paid in full for the work. He offered to stop back and give the deck another coat with the right color. He has not returned yet but hope he does. Nice man and good work."

He couldn’t be more lively to work with. He is very responsive and has fair prices. I highly recommend him! We will be using Victor and his great crew for all future house projects. 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!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
