"It is my pleasure to recommend the services of Doug Becker. We worked with him on various jobs over a ten-year time Frame from 2012-2022. He helped us with remodeling our home. Doug helped us build our outdoor shed, put in a new fence, built our children a wooden playground, added water and electricity to our backyard, built a sunroom, remodeled our kitchen, raised the ceiling in our living room, remodeled our bathroom. He Relocated our laundry room, built a deck, closed in the garage and made it into a bedroom, laid tile throughout our home, updated our home with new paint, updated our windows, built my children a loft bed, and helped update my garden beds. Throughout the projects, Doug Becker demonstrated construction knowledge and skill. I have no reservations about recommending Doug Becker for anyone looking for handyman or construction work."

"Drew reached out to me. He was very professional throughout the entire experience. I communicated to him what my concerns were regarding the job. Drew assured me that he would deliver and he did. Drew and his team were efficient and they didnâ  t leave anything behind. Most important thing for me was, Drew is a man of his word. In todayâ  s world, that quality is worth more than its weight in Gold. Hats off to Drew and his team!!"

"Working with Diamond Construction was a very good experience. Their work quality and attention to detail were excellent! Although we only expected to hire them for drywall, we ultimately hired them to complete the whole house renovation. Justin, Shawn, and team were knowledgeable, made helpful suggestions, and completed the project in a timely manner. The house turned out great! We are pleased to recommend their services."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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. 

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
