"I contacted Angie’s list for a handyman. Jworks was the only one that contacted me back for the items I needed help with. It all started with installing a microwave. I’ve hired him several times. He’s awesome, does a great job. I will continue to hire him as long as he continues to do this kind of work. All my jobs have been well done!! Thanks Jworks."

"If you are looking for a company to build a deck for you, there really is no other choice than this one! I had never interacted with Miller Decking prior to hiring him to extend, cover and create our new deck for us. Itâ s roughly 1000 sqft. From day one, his attention to detail and his drive to build me the best quality deck possible never diminished. His ability to take our ideas and turn them into reality is second to none. My wife and I had a few â changesâ we thought of mid project and Colton acted as though it was no big deal. He didnâ t miss a beat and never once told me â I donâ t think that will workâ or â I canâ t do thatâ . He makes things happen. I truly believe that he enjoys what he does and it shows in the craftsmanship of his completed projects. Iâ ve had my deck for many months now, and I have so many compliments on how appealing it makes my house. The space is now much more usable and more importantly, safer for my toddler. If you are looking for a company to complete a project for you and you want it done fast and cheapâ ¦donâ t hire Miller Decking. If you want your project to be completed with attention to detail, be built with quality craftsmanship, and by someone that cares about your level of happiness with the finished project, hire Miller Decking. You wonâ t regret it."

Customers say: Quick response

"UGLY DUCKLING INTO A BEAUTIFUL SWAN If I could give TEN stars i would. Highly experienced in what Kirk Morgan and his crew does. Meticulously detailed expertise on details even offering ways to be better than I expected to be. Patiently explaining many options with pro and con. Worked Monday through Friday all day long. Consistently showed up. Corrected what the previous two contractors had messed up to bring to high quality look and structural integrity. I have recommended to people needing work done or house built and will continue to recommend to anyone I can. Wellllllll worth the money I spent. High quality workmanship and straightforward on what needs to be done Lemme change something. FIFTEEN STARS!!!!!"

Woodworking 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.

A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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. 

On average, the cost to hire a carpenter ranges from about $75 to $100 per hour, depending on the type of carpentry, location, size of the job, and skill level of the carpenter. Get quotes from at least three carpenters in your area to determine the best price for your specific project.
