"We had been searching for some time for replacement entry doors for our home. The existing doors were not a standard size. Covenant Construction was recommended by a provider we had used in the past who suggested that Ronnie Forrester at Covenant might be able to adjust the framing to accept a standard size set of doors. Problem solved! We placed an order online for exactly the doors we wanted and scheduled our appointment with Covenant to coincide with the delivery to store date. Ronnie Forrester of Covenant picked up the doors, delivered and installed the same day. The result was excellent, greatly improved the appearance of our entry and the price was extremely reasonable. Mr. Forrester and his father worked together on the project and were both very skilled as well as pleasant and courteous. Great experience, start to finish.

"Kerry Dixon did an outstanding job building out a room addition for us upstairs. This was an unused attic space that we turned into a craft room/office for my wife. Kerry added an egress and built a dormer coming out of the garage roof that looks like it was part of the original house. He listed to what we wanted which was to have the addition to look like the rest of the house including rounded corners. I would definitely recommend Kerry Dixon."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, 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. 

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.

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.

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. 

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
