"I will never hire anyone else again for carpentry or minor construction work. Sergioâ s team was prompt, professional, and cost effective. The quality of their work was awesome!!! Do not look farther for minor or even major projects. They replaced a rotting main support on my pergola and the entire shade cover. They also installed a dropped down ironing board. I could not be happier with the quality of the work."

"We had a deck built by E & A Cortez Construction. Emilio was pleasant to work with. He kept his word at all phases of the project and let us know immediately about any problems he encountered or if there was going to be any kind of delay. We are very please with this project."

"I hired Benito to install trim throughout the house and install two interior doors. Benito did a fantastic job - the quality was great and he completed the job in less than 5 hrs. He showed up on time and cleaned up after himself. 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.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
