"Mr. Dale Andrews was professional, knowledgeable, reliable and completed my project quickly and thoroughly. He repaired some deteriorating wood around two large windows and weatherproofed a front door that had dropped significantly. He was congenial and friendly and quite easy to work with."

"I have used SSI Construction many times over the years. The owner, Shawn, is always friendly, responsive, and professional. SSI has done a great job for me and my family including installing a new PVC privacy fence, installation and service of our furnace and AC, rebuilt our deck, and completed multiple painting projects for us. They are a one stop shop for us and give us great prices. Highly recommended!"

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.
