"We needed a complete rebuild of our decks. (there were two ) and we contacted Rick’s Custom Fencing and Decking. We really appreciated Rick’s ability to change a somewhat complicated process into something that actually became a fun project. Miguel, Lane and Josiah were the builders and they were outstanding craftsmen."

"Ironwood did a fantastic job of installing 2 pre-hung doors and a custom installed front door. The staff were very patient and helpful as we had to pivot a few times on how the front door install could be accomplished amid challenging limitations in the framing. We are very happy with the results and look forward to working with them again!"

"Here?s a condensed version under 999 characters while keeping it natural and personal: --- Vanguard Construction did an amazing job transforming my garage into a high-tech office and workshop. It started as an old, uninsulated space with outdated paneling, but they completely gutted, insulated, and upgraded everything. They brought in an electrician to install a dedicated subpanel, 12 lights, 18 outlets, and a 240V outlet, ensuring I had power where I needed it. They also installed security cameras, motion lights, and outdoor outlets. They framed and soundproofed a wall to separate my laundry area, added French double doors, and finished with carpet tile. Their transparency was outstanding?they broke down every cost, kept me informed, and even refunded me $800 from the material budget. They put time and care into every detail, and I?ll be hiring them again soon. If you want quality work from an honest, detail-oriented team, hire this company."

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. 

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
