"I hired Brandon to pour concrete for a retaining support for a rock facing on my block foundation and put a new roof on an out building. All work was done very professionally, on time, and at a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend him. I am using him to put down new flooring in the near future."

"We hired Marci to do some drywall repair. It sustained water damage as a result of a water leak. From day one Marci did not disappoint. He stayed in constant contact, quoted a great price, showed up to do the work when he said he would and did Oustanding work! Marci was also very professional and respectful to our guests. We would absolutely recommend him to others looking to have projects completed. Kevin-Sevierville"

"Stephen was communicative and reasonably priced. He remodeled both bathrooms and some of the kitchen and bathroom in about 3 or4 weeks mostly by himself. He made recommendations for products for the remodel so that I could not only save money, but make my home look nice. Highly recommended and would hire him again for another remodel."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.
