Mr. Wiggins came by today to hang the curtain brackets, which he did very precise and quickly. When it came to hanging the picture, he floored me with how diligently he measured and re-measured to make sure the frame is hanging straight.

I absolutely would recommend that you give him a call for any work that needs to be done.

Customers say: True professional

"The project was completed professionally and within the discussed time frame. The project team showed up everyday on time and paid close attention to detail and made sure that by the end of the project I was fully satisfied. I kept adding projects to the original estimate but the team did everything that I requested and was able to make changes on the go, so that I was completely satisfied with the completed project. These guys are great they did a fantastic job installing the floor in my house and doing a few other jobs that they helped me out with. Fantastic workers, Great skills and very professional. Would definitely recommend and use them again..."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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. 

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.

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.
