"I have used Settlemir Construction numerous times. I have been in real estate management since 1987. I have had Johnny and his crew work on my personal home and on rental cabins that I own. They have installed new metal roofs, new interior framing, sheet rock, T&G installation, new wood trim, new decks, etc. Johnny does what he says he will do, does it with quality workmanship, his rates are very reasonable, and he is honest to the core. I would not hesitate to recommend Settlemir Construction. If there were more people like Johnny in the world it would surely be a better place. Tim Stagg"

"We hired Eric at the end of November 2012 to finish the basement of the house we had recently moved into.  The basement had been partially framed and plumbing was in for a three piece bath.  We asked Eric to complete the basement so that it would have a family room, library with floor to ceiling custom bookcases, bedroom, bathroom, small wine cellar, and a stained concrete floor. We were quite open to any suggestions Eric had and we are very pleased with his ideas.  The basement turned out beautifully.  Eric can do pretty much anything but his strong suit is definitely cabinet making.  We had originally just thought of having bookcases in the library but Eric suggested that we also do a custom built-in on a wall in the bedroom which looks great and is a perfect focal point.  The bookcases are lovely with open shelves on the upper portion, closed cabinets on the bottom and a built-in desk with drawer.  Eric also had a great vision for the wine cellar (which was built into a small storm shelter).  The wine storage can hold nearly 400 bottles of wine and has a glass-door cabinet to hold glasses and other accessories.
One issue we did have was with the stained concrete floor.  Although Eric did all the testing necessary to make sure the stain would work and that the floor did not have a sealer on it, the stain never soaked in the way it was supposed to.  The sealer just sat on the surface of the floor and resembled paint.  After Eric was finished with the remodel, we began to notice that the stain was peeling off the floor in several places and just did not turn out the way we wanted it to.  We asked Eric to come out and he agreed that the floor was not up to his standards.  When we told Eric we would just rather have a tile floor put in, he generously agreed to provide the labor for free.  He just recently finished the tile and it looks fantastic.
In addition to the basement, we also had Eric do a few other odd jobs, such as wiring a light fixture in our keeping room and repairing some mortar on the exposed brick in our kitchen."

"

Sales person (owner) was very knowledgeable and gave detailed steps as to what needed to be done to resolve problem. Work crew were professional and worked in a timely manner. They kept me informed as to how the job was progressing. They clearly answered any questions I had about their work processes. When they were done clean-up was so good you could not even tell they had been there.

"Old home / painting...it took three attempts to get the work done properly. I was displeased with the process but my account rep was attentive, appropriately apologetic, and expressed certainty that they would do anything necessary to provide an appropriate level of service. Project time was extended but the final product was solid. It shouldn't have taken three attempts, but Hood's went so far as to bring in a different sub-contractor as to provide solid work. I was pleased with the final product. New home: no problems with any of this work. Scheduling was difficult. I suspect that (as is typical with contractors) Hood's was overbooked / overextended. That said, the work seems to be solid. All in all, I appreciate the end: good work. I'm not sure that they'd be my first call the next time that I need work but I would vouch that they made sure I was (eventually) happy with the business."

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. 

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.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

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.
