"Demar stole my people's money, stripped the house, and disappeared. He's unreliable and appears to not have the credentials that he talked so highly of. My folks reached out to another contractor recently to try and get the house done... While assessing this mess, the contractor mentioned a guy who did a really bad job on his cabinets. Come to find out, that guy was actually Demar! I do not recommend this business AT ALL. Save yourself the headache and go with a REAL professional."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Call a foundation repair pro to replace a rotted support beam. Your contractor will likely install temporary support to the area while replacing the beam with new wood or steel. Load-bearing elements of your home—such as the horizontal beams that run along your floors, walls, roof, and ceilings—should be inspected by a trained structural engineer. Call these experts the moment you detect rot, water damage, or foundation issues in your home. 

Ensures proper sealing and alignment, preventing drafts and improving energy efficiency.

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, joists are considered structural, as they support the flooring or roofing above them and help distribute the load to the beams, which, in turn, distribute that load to weight-bearing walls or foundational supports directly below them. Joists not only help distribute the load evenly to your beams, but they also provide direct support to the subfloor in flooring systems, which helps reduce creaking and the risk of uneven flooring.

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.
