"yes Victor was great, came out quick for estimate, once agreed on he started next day. Only b/c of cement work did it take 2 days. He replaced rotten wood siding and placed metal support post on storm damaged carport. Victor is good at his work, very detail oriented and conscientious worker."

"I recently had to have my kitchen repaired after a frozen pipe at the end of December 2022. It took me months to find an honest, reputable and ethical contractor. Gratefully I was referred to Danny Did It. I am so grateful for that referral. Danny and his crew are all some of the kindest and most dedicated contractors I have met. He treated my small job as if he were remodeling a million-dollar house. His communication was amazing. When he said he or his crew were going to be at my home at a certain time they were and if he was running late he always called or communicated with me. I appreciate that he respected my time. I appreciate his laid back and patient attitude. I had to delay the job several times and Danny was very understanding when I told him, and reassured me that he would be ready when everything got sorted out. For someone who was going through their first, and I hope last, water damage repair and learning how to navigate homeowner's insurance claims his reassurances made a huge difference to me. His attention to detail showed in the quality of his work, and his choices were always spot on with what I wanted. This is because he took the time to get to know me, my style and personality. The young men he hired to help him shared his same level of attention to detail and desire to do the job well. I also enjoyed watching him teach these young men what it means to be a good contractor, to take pride in their work and how to do the work right. After hearing all of the horror stories that my friends have told me about their experiences, I am so happy that I found Danny Did It. He made what has been a very stressful situation much easier by being the type of person and business owner that can be counted on. I highly recommend Danny Did It for any home repairs or remodels that you need. He is the best."

"David and his father, Jose, were outstanding! They arrived on time, were exceptionally professional and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. There were no surprises, explaining every step of what they were doing and answering any question I had. I would (and likely will) use J&D Woodwork again without a doubt!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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.

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.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
