"It was clear and evident that Fred was experienced and knowledgable when he came to my home to discuss what I wanted and gave me a reasonable estimate. Upon signing a contract, Justin and Mike were tasked with the build out. They were on site at the times they said they would be, extremely personable and educated within their field of work. They were also extremely hospitable in allowing me to watch them show their expertise as a learning experience. I would most certainly hire Fred and his crew again and highly recommend!"

"I recently had my siding and gutters redone by Home Genius Exteriors and I am in love with how everything turned out! The working crew was wonderful and they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the final product (changed out my new exterior light fixtures and house numbers, came back to fix a few things, etc). There were a couple of minor things we needed to check on at the end of the project, but my project manager, Omar, stayed in constant contact with me to ensure that things were taken care of and that I was completely satisfied with everything. As a new home owner, I had reservations about working with renovation crews and I certainly had them at the beginning of the project since it was my first big renovation. But I will tell you the crew that I worked with from Home Genius Exteriors really changed my mind on how home projects can be handled and I'm very happy that I decided to have them do this first big project for me. Thank you to Darian, Omar, Eddie, Abraham, and the rest of the team for everything!"

"Out of the four companies we talked with for the construction of a roof over our deck, we choose Stoneridge Outdoor Living. We found them easy to work with plus they answered all our questions and offered plans for what we wanted and at a price we could afford. Their attitude and professionalism has been great. I will update my review when the work is completed but I have no doubt things will go well."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

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.

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

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. 

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
