"In the early Spring of 2022 we hired Millspaugh to build a 10X24 feet porch over a deck. They gave us a bid which seemed reasonable, and began work shortly thereafter. We were very pleased with all aspects of their work. They were prompt, exactly on budget, on schedule, and very nice people with whom to deal. We highly recommend their services! Sincerely, Dr. J. Robert and Vera M. Moore, Springfield Oregon 97478"

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 It started as an old, uninsulated space with outdated paneling, but they completely gutted, insulated, and upgraded everything.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."

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.
New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
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.
