"I am a brand new homeowner who contacted several pros to get a quote on repairing a 15 year old wooden fence that was falling apart. I sent Jason with Overhead Construction a couple pictures of the problem areas and he stopped by the next day to take a look for himself. Following this, he sent me a written estimate with an affordable price on the project. We scheduled the repair and he came out and fixed it up in just a couple of hours, while also doing another add-on project for me. Overhead Construction has great customer service, flexibility to fit your schedule, and competitive pricing. I can’t recommend them enough!"

"These guys did an exceptional job. They were on time every day and worked very hard. Also, they were very professional and courteous. They painted the exterior of our home, repaired some wood trim and painted/re-screened our back porch. They cleaned up and left no mess. We would definitely hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
