"Robert and his crew were fabulous. They operated professionally and with integrity. They started work each morning around 8:00 am sharp. My husband and I are very please with our Bathroom Remodel. I also had other small jobs done while they were there. They did not complain but were willing to accommodate me and my ideas. I will be hiring them again for our future Home Renovation Projects."

"Roman communicated his schedule to arrive and take care of putting together two large primate caging. He did an outstanding job and actually cleaned up afterwards, which is rare in my experience with not so “handy” Handymen. Already planning to have Roman work some other projects. Wish I had found him a year so I could have avoided some other poor work performed by other handy men. Highly recommend Beyond Quality and Roman!"

Unfinished 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.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
