"Brandon did a great job finishing my waterproof laminate floor! He was on time, trustworthy, polite, had good recommendations, and was able to finish early so I could get my house back in order! If you want a fair price and a good job, go with Trade-Worx."

"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."

"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"

"Austin responded quickly to our request for a quote and after we hired him he communicated daily during the project. The covering he built for our deck is great and we were very pleased with his work. We would definitely hire him for another project!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
