"I had a very positive experience with Rost Construction this summer. During the heavy July Rains, our large skylight began leaking. I needed to get the skylight repaired as soon as possible, but was having trouble getting contractors to return my call. One contractor did come out and measured the skylight, but did not offer to correct the immediate situation until I would commit to his bid. I then called Rost construction. Jakob Rost answered the call himself and asked fact finding questions. Jakob sent out one of his associates, Jack, the next morning. After an initial review, Jack returned and found an old nail in the skylight flashing. He was able to make the repair without changing out the skylight. Of all the contractors I contacted (at least five), Rost construction was the only company that displayed a sense of urgency and a high level of competence. It is without hesitation that I recommend Rost construction for your project"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, 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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

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.
