"David was very knowledgeable about plumbing as well as carpentry. He gave insights on my plumbing before he did the work. By doing that I saved me a headache if I didn't act accordingly. Thanks David for the beautiful work!"

"Fantastic! I would hire this company a million times over. This is a second home for us, and Jack was always texting us pictures and calling with the progress while we were not there. We had all of our floors replaced throughout the house, the entire house painted, and quartz stone countertops put in throughout our large kitchen. Jack pays attention to details, which was very important to us. We have hired many contractors for our Houston home and never received such great service as with did with Jack. He shows up when he says he will, and he completes the job in a great time frame. The price was reasonable and he was always conscientious on cost when we asked to add something. His crew was nice and hardworking. He is easy to get a hold to when we had questions. I would highly recommend Jack for any job. It is a great feeling knowing that everything that was done in our home was done right and to perfection!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

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.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
