"They removed and installed new subfloor and joists. We were having our wood floors replaced when our floor company discovered that areas of our sub-floor and joists needed to be replaced due to an old leak that hadnâ  t been properly repaired. Before we could proceed with installing the new floor, we needed to get this resolved. Thanks to Angie. I happened to find the Load Bearing Beam Masters and gave them a call. The owner, Jordan Hulcy, came out and gave us a game plan and an estimate to fix the problem. To say that I was anxious is an understatement; did I make the right decision; did I choose the right companyâ ¦ the answer is a resounding yes and yes. They are amazing at what they do and as youâ  ll see, did a fantastic job! Thank you Jordan for putting me at ease and thanks to the crew for a job well done! The proof is in the pictures."

"We had a great experience with Juan and his team. I had a specific look I wanted with my stair rails and Juan worked with me to achieve this look. He was very patient and explained what could be done to achieve my design. My staircase turned out just like I wanted and I would definitely recommend them."

Customers say: Quick response

"The work was completed in the allotted amount of time. A great job done. The most impressive part of this experience: I have a situation that is very different from the normal request/requirement for home and/or office cleaning and have struggled to make the person helping with the cleaning understand my needs. This was a different experience: she immediately understood what I needed and how I needed it done. And she did exactly that. This is the most impressive housekeeping I have seen in a very long time."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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. 

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.
