"He was great to work with. The job was done in a timely manner and looks great. He kept us up to date on what he was doing daily and answered many questions about the porch before we could ask him. Tim also kept the cost down when possible by using some of the existing porch. We will use Tim again."

"Al did a fantastic job! We had a very unusual project where we were turning a very small loft area into a bedroom space. He was friendly, quick to come out and give an estimate, and quick to get us scheduled. He kept things clean as he worked and along the way got feedback from us to ensure that the job was exactly as we wanted it. Al did quality work and used every minute efficiently the entire time he was onsite. Great experience all the way around!"

"Nathan handled the job incredibly well and in less time than I anticipated. We hired him to replace all the deck flooring and top railings, and replace the step down to the yard as well. Working by himself, he removed all the old material in a day and rebuilt the deck flooring and top railings and step in a day and a half. He cleaned up after himself and made sure we were satisfied with all aspects of his work before he left. Highly recommend!"

"Del Phillips did an outstanding job renovating our upstairs spare bathroom. From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and extremely detail-oriented. He took the time to explain the process, kept the work area clean, and made sure every step was completed to the highest standard. The finished bathroom looks incredible — better than we imagined — and the craftsmanship is top-notch. Del’s communication throughout the project was excellent, and he completed the work on time and within budget. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contractor."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.
