"TX Thunderbolt Fences did an amazing job on our fence, we also had them install a carport. Very high quality craftsmanship and they started the job and completed in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Carlos to build your fence or carport."

"I’ve had several custom closets built and installed over the past 20 years. Even though I was presented with a design, what I didn’t know was that a matching backboard wasn’t included in the price, nor was it disclosed that it would be an up-charge. Since I wasn’t there during and after the installation, I was dumbfounded by the exposed walls. His installer left fingerprints on the chrome bars which were cleaned up the following day. Since I broke the cardinal rule of don’t pay 100% before the end installation, this one is on me. Also, Don’t always trust a 100%, 5-star reviews. I’m giving them 3 stars for the quality of materials."

"If you have a leaning fence or need it stained or a deck built these are the guys to hire. I did for all three of the above and they really know what they are doing. They basically dug under the entire fence, straightened and reconcreted the poles, then reattached the fence. Afterwards they powerwashed and stained the fence. Then they build my new deck. Work with a pro, Jaime is your guy!"

"Needed a barbed wire fence installed between my neighbor and I, with corner and center supports. Only about 230 total feet. Hector and his crew showed up that morning when promised and got to work. They finished that afternoon and the fence was perfect. They did an exceptional job! I would not hesitate to recommend HM Services! In fact I will be using them in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

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.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.
