"Mr. Rivera came to my home to do tree cut down and large shrub removal. He did a great job and cleaned everything up and saved me so much work. He is a nice man and I recommend him to anyone needing maintenance help in the yard."

"I needed the steps and railings replaced on my front porch late in the season. The job was quoted on a weekend and completed the following week as promised, even though the weather didn't cooperate. The new steps and railings match the existing porch and it looks great."

"We had a deck repair completed. The job was completed sooner than expected. We were very impressed by the results. They cleaned up the area after project and removed all debris. They were very responsive to any questions we had and explained everything they were doing. We would highly recommend them and plan on using them again for future projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.

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.

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. 

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
