"I cannot say enough good things about SSCR carpentry, from their professional attitude and the quality of their work to the way that's got explained everything to me so that Even someone that knows nothing about carpentry can understand. SSCR made us a beautiful Trex deck for less than the cost of what a treated deck would have cost. They even moved our furniture off the deck and back on for us and one of the pieces was really heavy."

"I have never met a contractor more reliable than Darek. He makes the whole renovating and building process less stressful and fun. He replaced a deck in our house and help renovating most of the inside. (Until now we keep getting compliments from neighbors about the deck!) Darek is very professional and easy to work with, very knowledgeable and helpful. The best quality and value. Would recommend and use him again without hesitation!"

"Veronica and Victor were great to work with. They have replaced my deck in 3 days and it looks gorgeous. I walked out on it so many times just to appreciate how great it looks. Victor and his workers were very professional and detail oriented. I look forward to having them work on other projects in the future."

"I recently hired Connection123 Services for a deck repair project, and I couldn?t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the completion of the work, the team was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the repairs needed, provided a fair estimate, and completed the job on schedule. The craftsmanship was excellent, the work area was kept clean, and the finished deck looks fantastic. It?s clear they take pride in their work and care about customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Connection123 Services to anyone looking for reliable, quality handyman and home improvement services. I will definitely be using them again for future projects."

"Mr. Toye was a real lifesaver. He showed up right when he said and he was easy to contact about scheduling and other questions. I needed some weird problems solved at the house I just bought and everything was expertly done! Dan's rate was very fair and I already have plans for him to do more work soon!"

"Very professional job stairs were done to code I was also impressed with their solution for a post coming down in a parking lot. They put it at an angle into the building with a go plate at the bottom, anchoring it in my hand fence came out gorgeous. They were timely and very clean about the job I appreciate their work. The job was well done."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
