"Rob did an amazing job. He has great attention to detail. What impressed me the most was his level of communication. I always had an update from him and he was very timely to respond to any inquiry I had. The job was to frame up a basement bathroom and small laundry room with a pocket door. I would recommend him for any carpentry work and plan to call on him for another job I have in the future."

"The CDJ team did a great job building us a large hybrid fence (part privacy and part cattle panel). Early on, I sent Chris some photos of what we had in mind for the cattle wire panel section, and he said ?no problem!? The team built exactly what we asked for, and we were impressed by their attention to detail. They did a complete tear-down of our old fence on a Monday, and had the new one - complete with five gates - finished by Saturday, even with a thunderstorm delay. These guys are great, do beautiful work, and really know their stuff! Also, we had decided to splurge on cedar posts, because carpenter bees had turned some of our previous fence posts into Swiss cheese. They made two separate supply runs to get us the thirty-four cedar posts required, which we really appreciate. We are extremely happy with our fence, an outstanding value, and highly recommend CDJ Remodeling. And we look forward to working with them on future projects."

"Lance Home Repairs did a fantastic job with my porch door frame. It had a lot of rotten wood and he was able to fix it and install a new door in a day. We needed it done quickly for our Airbnb. Very friendly and professional."

"Mike was very cordial and sincere. He considered our whole situation and explained very well what the job would entail. His work is awesome. Looks like new instead of 63 years old. He was able to schedule the work and get it done in reasonable time frames. There was no trace that he was here when he left. THIS is the guy for your job!"

"Frank and his team were outstanding. They were hired due to some unforeseen structural issues that were occurring on our recent HVAC system install. Frank and his came in on short notice and very quickly helped do a complete framing install in our attic. Frank was friendly and communicated everything he was doing. It put my mind at ease that we had experienced professionals handling the work. I would highly recommend Frank for any home remodeling work and plan to use him again for future projects."

"We worked with Spensir and crew to build a Trex deck, they finished two weeks after we received city approvals. They were hardworking and kind and the deck is completely maintenance free. We're already getting quotes for our next project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

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.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.
