"Russ was an incredible find! I’ve hired many contractors off of Angi.com, and he is by far the most professional, meticulous, thoughtful, and truly talented in his area. I would hire him for any finish carpentry work without hesitation."

"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."

"We couldn?t be happier with the deck Jose built for us. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and honestly impressive to watch. Jose and his employee worked so well together?they were clearly experienced, organized, and incredibly hardworking. The final result is beyond what we imagined. The deck is not only beautifully designed, but it also feels extremely solid and well-built. You can tell they paid attention to every detail and took pride in their craftsmanship. What really stood out to us was how efficient they were without ever cutting corners. They showed up ready to work, stayed focused, and completed everything in a timely manner while still delivering top-quality results. If you?re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and professional, I would absolutely recommend Jose. We are so grateful for the work he did and will definitely be reaching out to him again for future projects."

"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!"

"Home projects, no matter the type, will have hiccups. What makes a company special is how they handle those hiccups. John and Matthew handle every issue with integrity and sincerity and willingly coached me through the questions I had throughout my projects, even providing welcomed design ideas. Once the project was complete I brought them back to do a few more things and they made the time for me. I can easily recommend these fine gentleman."

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.

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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. 

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.
