"After having a contractor walk out on me without finishing the job I dealt with this hideous stair case. That was up until I met Phillip! I found him on Angi & within just a few days he was able to come and evaluate the work that I needed. Not only on the stair case but other unfinished project in just 2 days he completely flipped my home. Mounted my TV, installed new baseboard and trim, finished my flooring (also redoing the questionable DIY areas I did myself) and gave me this beautiful stairs case. Not only did he pick up the supplies for me but also stained and painted it all. He is meticulous in his work and takes pride in each project he does. Truly a great person and handy man to keep around. He is both trustworthy and reliable. Needless to say I will be calling Phillip for all future projects. Thanks so much again."

"Project went very smoothly. Dan was receptive to changes that we wanted to make midstream, and it was clear that he wanted us to be happy with the final product. Dan is a no nonsense contractor (which we love) and works hard to complete his jobs with quality, timeliness, and decent communication. We'll definitely be calling Reichardt Remodeling for our next project."

"Dean came out and looked over the basement and was honest enough to let me know that the job needed a company designated for renovation services and that my insurance company probably had a list of contractors they work with and would even pay them directly. I appreciated the honesty and professionalism."

"Alex had done some major work on the house before I listed it, so I had no problem calling him about this project.  As usual, Alex came through in the clutch and found a licensed plumber to do the work, on time and up to code.  Alex has been my go-to guy twice in the last 6 months, and he got the job done on time and at the quoted price.  Although I live 1,000 miles away, he was great at keeping me up-to-date with phone calls and e-mails.    He is an A+ contractor that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who asks."

Unfinished 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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
