"Although I provided the materials, the pricing for the repai was fair and honest. The workers arrived on tome and got straight to the job. The workers advised of an insect problem that I was able to take care of before they completed the job. would definitely hire them again and refer them to my friends that may need a project completed."

"I was skeptical of their perfect 5 star rating when I hired John and his team to paint my downtown Charleston house. My house looked terrible, decks were rotted and windows needed repairing. John was very thorough and detailed with his explanation of what needed to be done and provided a detailed quote which was very reasonable. He and his team spent 2 weeks prepping the house and I could immediately tell something special was happening. I too am an experienced painter and spent years painting houses and figured I was the best. Well, Precision Paint Pros are the BEST. Don't bother using anyone else. My house looks exponentially better than anything I could have expected. And I cant forget to mention that all of the carpentry/decking was also done to the highest standard. Just absolutely great work, timely, reliable, precise. I wish I could give more than 5 stars..."

"Very good work. Claudio was very responsive to my request for a quote. He got all the necessary permits and approvals and promptly started work thereafter. Project was completed in a reasonable amount of time; but would have been completed sooner if not for needing to correct a problem with the picket rails. That problem was corrected by Claudio ."

"Carson is a wonderful carpenter and very professional. He's careful and exacting in his work, and always kept me informed on the schedule. Once he started the job he worked until it was done which I really appreciate. He also had great ideas and was adaptable to my plans. I highly recommend him for any project."

"Derek and his worker Rogelio were all one could ask for! They arrived on time for multiple visits, charge very reasonable rates, do the list of jobs & cleanup. They were polite and knowledgeable in all my 8 areas of need. Freeman Repair are outstanding in every way and most of all do excellent work! After experiencing other handymen, they are such a pleasure."

"We called, interviewed and reached out to over 25 builders when starting to plan our ground-up build in Old Mount Pleasant. After meeting with several, Chris and Rusty gave us the best price (and were also the most personable). This is our second build so we knew the ropes but I wasn't prepared for the level of communication, keeping us on task and overall organization from Blue Horizon. They did an excellent job telling us when we were going over budget, reminding me of when things needed to be chosen (we didn't hire any outside help or a designer), and generally keeping the project on time. Chris gave his honest opinion and was very forthcoming with all information. I'm happy to say we love the result of our home and made two new friends in the process."

"I had lots of damaged cement fiber siding on my home and I’m so glad I found LITN. Joe took as much time as necessary to understand what my siding issue was and came up with a repair plan that included replacement of a large amount of siding and painting the whole home. The team did a great job with the repair and the paint job left my neighbors envious of the home’s high quality new look. This home looks better than it was built. I’m so thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend LITN. There is a reason they have a high rating and they deserve it."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
