"I highly recommend Jyra Home Solutions. They put new siding on my home and built a 2 car, carport. When we initially went over the project, Seth made further recommendations to enhance my home, when they finished the project, every aspect of the initial plans was completed, with a total home exterior makeover. The professionalism and craftsmanship of their work was above and beyond. If you are looking for a reliable, professional home remodeler, you can't go wrong with this company. I couldn't be happier with the job they did. I have had numerous people stop by complimenting how good my house looks now. If I ever come up with any new projects, I would look no further than Jyra Home Solutions. A Totally Satisfied Customer, Dave M"

"The building took a while to get started, but the team they sent out did miracle work or something cause the company told me 8-14 days to finish, they finished in 5 and the quality is insane. I would definitely hire then again for future projects! 5 stars"

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.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
