"Jack Fox is a highly skilled carpenter. We hired his business to add wainscot up our staircase and replace the plain newel post with a decorative box newel. He executed our vision perfectly. I highly recommend Refresh Decking and Jack Fox because he will deliver quality work and you will be entirely satisfied."

"D and D demonstrated expertise with handling and replacing damaged hardi-plank siding at my house. They did everything safely and modified the method that hardi-plank meets the roof shingles to prevent future moisture damage. They also made good use of materials I had on hand such as house paint and siding materials that brought the total cost of the job down. I am delighted and comfortable that the cost was a a lot less than the improvement in the future value of our home."

"We hired them to help us add support beams under our deck to properly hold the weight of our hot tub. They also assisted us with fixing a bunch of furniture we ordered that needed to be built. We had them paint our decks and porch plus fix our kitchen sink and replace our bathroom sinks. They also did some other jobs like fixing our door frame, adding fire extinguishers, smoke alarms replacing our outside cameras, changing window blinds, adding special window glass for heat and replacing deck flooring. They are the best contractors we ever dealt with and we own over 60 properties across the USA. They also went to our newest house prior to closing and performed an in depth inspection and found many issues that the inspection company we hired completely missed. We highly recommend this company to handle all your construction needs. We are hiring them to replace the roof, add concrete footings and rip out and put in a new shower and bathroom for our new house in Gatlinburg in February"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
