"Right from the start, Mike was just set apart from everyone else. He was one of only two businesses (out of a half a dozen others) who were ready to come out and survey the job in person. My gut instinct told me he was the one. Really appreciate his great work ethic and his easy to communicate with personality. Mike is now our go-to guy."

"Built a front fence for me out of corrugated metal and wood. Very efficient and cleanup was excellent. I will use them again. Another time, my house had bubbbles forming in the dormers. They sanded the area, bought matching paint and painted the front of my house . It continues to look great and considering a remodel in my kitchen. I will surely request a bid by them. They were so good, I would wait for them to be available."

"They were able to come to the house to work within about 30 minutes of first contacting me! My parents house has a forest of weeds surrounding it and some extremely overgrown bushes. They did a fantastic job removing everything and spraying the tiny guys that were too small to pull out fully. Would definitely hire again."

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. 

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
