"Hanging crown molding can be tricky, given corners that aren't square and ceilings that are not perfectly level. JLS Construction did a great job hanging the molding and fully using pieces with minimal waste. The corners all met well and the molding was hung with no seams as I requested. JLS Construction arrived at the agreed on time, worked steadily until the job was done, and charged a fair price. JLS's customer service was exceptional by keeping me informed regarding the project via text and email. To provide an excellent result to the project, JLS even went above and beyond and purchased a new finishing saw blade to make perfect molding cuts rather than use an existing blade that was not designed for the fine finish result that crown molding requires. The work area they used was cleaned up properly and promptly upon project completion. JLS was easy to talk to and work with and was able to complete the project as I requested. If any other carpentry, handyman type needs, or projects in general arise at my house, JLS will be the first company I call."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.
