"Excellent. Honest and quick work. Mr. King was able to get someone out on short notice, to shim/shiv the piers. They performed a full scale cleanup last year, and I will only use Basement kings for any of my crawlspace work. Best in Texas!"

"We needed to have the subflooring replaced in two bathrooms in a manufactured home. We decided to have several fixtures replaced at the same time ("We need to put stuff back; cost is the same if we use old stuff or new..") - toilets, vanities, new shower, remove old and inoperative tubs. Things went quite sideways when we found the flooring under the old water heater was bad and found the water heater needed replacing - the crew waited until the plumbing people came out and talked to them about what was needed. Fans needed to be left for several days to dry things out. New subflooring put in; we provided new vinyl flooring, fixtures, and vanities, which they installed. Everything came out PERFECT!! David bid on a week-and-a-half job; turned into almost 3 weeks - except for some additional items needed to finish up some plumbing, he didn't up the cost. We have a contractor that we will call when other projects need to be done. If I could give ten stars out of five, I would!!"

"Jon can do it all. He's completely remodeled our bathroom, built a deck for us, and replaced an exterior door. He does all of the work himself, so you don't have to worry about a variety of people coming by. He's great a communicating and is clear about what he plans to do. Jon is always the first person I call when I have a project I need help with."

Unfinished 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. 

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.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

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.
