"We have bought two farms in the last three years. Each time I used Dave for all my renovations and field control. He can do almost any project with enough time given. He has a busy schedule, but once heâ s with you, his team is there til your job is done. We used his services for: Painting Exterior repair of home Interior repair of home New trim around shop and 2,300 sq ft home Installations Excavation Tree line clearing Gravel pad Concrete pad Road building Livestock fencing Driveway installation Soon heâ ll be working on a tiny home setup for my Mom and a large overhang for the livestock. Iâ ve used Dave for years. I couldnâ t be happier with his service and team. They are hard workers. They see delays before they become a delay. Everything suggested only adds value or beauty. He has never overcharged for the quality he provides. You get exactly what you pay for. I will use his service till he retires and for all of my projects."

"Tony has now helped with two of my personal remodel projects. He's done everything from structural beams, framing, entire bathrooms, to architectural carpentry & woodworking. He's efficient and bring solutions rather than "problems". Worth every $ and will hire again."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Overall, the service was a little higher than quoted. I expected 3 guys to get more painted in 2.5 hours than they did. I also would have expected that the charges were more clear during the process. The guys were polite and seemed to know what they were doing and were very careful to cover up the floors. But, the service should have cost no more than $300 with the amount of work that was complete. 
Overall, they did decent work, besides a few spots on my ceiling and adjoining walls, they did do pretty well with the overall work.

"This contractor was excellent. He installed four doors, a storm door, and created a new step under a pair of French doors. I would recommend this guy and use again."

"We reached out to Elm Construction following a friend’s recommendation. Our contact was Tommy, who supported us throughout the project, making sure we were aligned at every step. He also helped us stay within our initial budget for the kitchen remodeling and ensured everything was delivered on time, as agreed. Thank you, Tommy and the Elm Construction team! We can’t wait for our next project together!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

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. 

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
