"We hired Connor to help get our home ready to rent out. He repainted the entire upstairs, touched up all the molding and trim, and repaired two exterior wood posts. Connor was always professional, dependable, and easy to work with. He paid attention to the details and made sure everything was done right. The quality of his work was excellent, and the projects were completed on time. We’re moving back this summer and have already hired him again to replace our flooring, remove some walls, and help with several other projects. I would highly recommend Connor to anyone looking for quality work and someone they can trust in their home."

"The house looks so good! I hired Keefer and his team to paint the interior of my house (1100sqft) and the results are amazing! I have an older home that needed some love and KTB came in and took care of everything. The team was friendly, polite, and professional. KTB was quick to get me on the schedule, worked efficiently, and left a clean worksite! I highly recommend KTB for your project and I will be calling them again for mine."

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. 

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.
