"Carlos and his team did an amazing job building out my new fence and the new patio cover, as well as laying a concrete slab for the patio. Would highly recommend them. From his work, he's gotten two other jobs in the neighborhood."

"Absolute top quality professionalism from beginning to end. We had Urban Legend Woodworking install a library wall, with ladder, in our home office. It is absolutely incredible craftsmanship. When we have another carpentry project that we need done in our home, I would not hesitate for one second to have Urban Legend Woodworking be my first and only call. Thank you!!"

"I want to say that Mike did an incredible job putting together my furniture. I had a bed frame, gel mattress, dresser and futon. He made sure that all the parts fit. He made sure he kept the areas clean. He even took his shoes off so it wouldn't scratch up my floors. He is very professional, friendly and excellent at his job. I definitely will be calling again for his help. Thanks again Mike"

"I hired this company to add a rod to my closet. He went with me to Home Depot to pick out what I need, and did the job the same day. He was friendly, very nice, wasn’t afraid of my dog, and most importantly he notice my Bible and said that’s the best book in the house. I love the finished product and would recommend this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.
