"Spensir and his team of contractors did a kitchen remodel for us this fall. The kitchen is absolutely wonderful and exactly what we wanted. His team, composed of painters, plumbers, electricians and countertop men were all exceptional! They were always on time as expected or I was notified early with a schedule change. They were professional and courteous in our home. I highly recommend them for your project"

"They pretty much rebuilt the entire porch. It looks fantastic, I couldn't be happier with it. From start to finish, I told Don I wanted his expertise in making it look and function right, and he was very thoughtful and creative in how this build would affect the future plans for the house and the longevity and quality of the overall construction. The crew and himself were always respectful, honest people - exactly who I trust my life with the construction of my home and being around my family and valuables to. Thank you so much Don and crew of Hillside, I can't wait to have more of your help over the next several years to come!"

"KT Construction recently did some work for us and we are very pleased with the results. We had new baseboard installed along with door jams, and also had new kitchen shelving done in two pantries. In addition to the high quality work being done, we were pleasantly surprised with the communication, cleanup, and excellent estimating on lumber needed, etc. We look forward to working with KT in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you."

"Noah Puckerbrush is the best! His work is impeccable. He was the only contractor we had found agreeable to us picking out the materials we wanted for use; the solid wood flooring, marble tiles, cabinets, fixtures, etc. He completed his work in 8 days and what a beautiful job he did!"

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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, 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. 

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
