"Outstanding -- both the office staff (Marissa) I dealt with scheduling this service as well as the team member (Todd) who did the work were professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Scheduling the appointment was a breeze and I was contacted when Todd was on the way to my home and I was even given a link to track his progress. He arrived on time and the work performed exceeded my expectations. It truly was a joy working with Marissa and Todd and I definitely will use their services again when the need arises. The only reason I gave a "B" rating for price is because their hourly charge is a bit more than the other quotes I received; however, I believe the quality of service they provide far exceeds the small incremental cost."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

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.
