"I met Molly and I loved her energy. I knew she would be one of those people that could help me with anything, so I called her and had her come over to help. I was getting ready to sell my house. While she was there, I learned about her husband who was getting his license as a contractor. It is hard to get help on the coast, and many other places. Having someone who was strong, capable, and eager for work excited me. Some contractors are a month or two out. With my neighbor, they ended up bringing their trailer and hauling a bunch of stuff for us. They work fast and they can carry more than your average human. They are very strong. Then they worked for another neighbor, who raved about their help. He just asked for their number as he is calling them again. I recently moved to Mount Shasta, and I had a lot of work that needed to be done. I also bought a hot tub in Newport that needed to be delivered. It timed out perfectly that Christian and Molly could come to Mount Shasta, bring my hot tub, and get some things done for me that needed to be done. I was also excited about the fact that I have a big fenced in yard, and they could bring their dogs. I got to babysit a few times and I loved every minute of it. I missed dog energy. We had to play it by ear based on fire insurance needs and priority shifting, but they came and they worked their tails off for me. I am not afraid of hard work. I just pick my battles. If I donâ  t have to lift something, I wonâ  t. It was nice having a very strong man to be a workhorse in my yard for a few days. Between Christian and Molly, they helped immensely. If you have something that needs to be done, call Christian. Give him an idea of what youâ  re looking at, and let him help you figure out what you need. They will be getting busy now that he is working and licensed, and they will be hard to access in the near future. I would make an appointment as soon as possible. Get them in your auto dial."

"Absolute aces. Showed up on time, was very patient and thorough explaining what he needed to do, and how long it would take. Outstanding workmanship, and he told me what I could do in the upcoming years, to prevent further damage. I will hire him only, for any and all future vinyl siding projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

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. 

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.
