Customers say: Quick response

"The installation of my fence and gate was great. The fence was done on time, the cost was not over budget and I'm very happy with my fence and gate. Scott went above and beyond in the area of customer service. He offered cost saving tips on other home projects. He is very personable and kept me updated throughout the process. I found him to be trustworthy, reliable, experienced and a hard worker. I can wholeheartedly recommend Happy Home Care."

He showed up the next day and knocked it out quicker than he estimated. Very friendly and I would hire again."

"Adam with Elite Enclosures responded promptly with a quote for fence, gate & arbor replacement based on my texted dimensions & pictures. He got started right away & completed my project in 2 days - demo, haul-away & brand new fence, gate & arbor. The finished product exceeded expectations with great attention to detail & stellar craftsmanship. Adam was professional, responsive, great communication, efficient & skilled at his craft. I’d hire Elite Enclosures again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
