"They removed and installed new subfloor and joists. We were having our wood floors replaced when our floor company discovered that areas of our sub-floor and joists needed to be replaced due to an old leak that hadnâ  t been properly repaired. Before we could proceed with installing the new floor, we needed to get this resolved. Thanks to Angie. I happened to find the Load Bearing Beam Masters and gave them a call. The owner, Jordan Hulcy, came out and gave us a game plan and an estimate to fix the problem. To say that I was anxious is an understatement; did I make the right decision; did I choose the right companyâ ¦ the answer is a resounding yes and yes. They are amazing at what they do and as youâ  ll see, did a fantastic job! Thank you Jordan for putting me at ease and thanks to the crew for a job well done! The proof is in the pictures."

"These guys were great. They were very professional. They knew what they were doing with all the different tasks that the repair of my flood-damaged property required. Most importantly, they were prompt and unlike so many contractors in this area, they started right away and finished approximately when they said they would. Wonderful people to get to know."

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
