"We needed a deck replaced. Spinner Construction LLC was the answer. The price fit my budget, the time frame from starting to finish was very impressive (for a work crew of two), and the workmanship was impeccable. I highly recommend Spinner Constrution LLC for your building project."

"Hired them to repair a leaking roof. Larry, Joey and Cory worked with me and kept at it until a difficult repair was completed. A great team to work with. Highly recommend them and will hire them again for future projects."

"What an incredible experience. Contacted them for siding consult, Chris from sales was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Gave us great recommendations for the design. We signed up and wow the siding was here in less than 10 days. The installers, Led by Daniel were incredible. They were courteous, friendly, neat and they were fast! You could see pride of work as they were doing the project. They were also on time each day, were there when they said they would be. AJ our project manager was awesome as well..Communicated frequently so we always knew what to expect. We are thrilled with our new home, siding is beautiful, this team is stellar! If we could give a 100 rating we would!"

"John Tanner has done 4 projects for us to date and we are hiring him later to do a fifth project. The first one he did for us was to repair the drywall in a corner of our master bedroom and then make and install shelving. The second was to install a small shelf for laundry supplies. The third was to install oar locks in an aluminum boat we had purchased, and the fourth was to assemble a large and unusual cat tree, the instructions for which completely baffled me! John is always prompt, courteous, and no job is seemingly too small, which is unusual for most handyman services. A bonus if you have pets: he is an animal lover, and always takes the time to greet our cats!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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.
