"We hired Mighty Dad in late spring/early summer of 2020 to do the construction part of a deck remodeling job (plus the last not-insignificant demolition step that we didn't finish). He replaced the old weathered wood planking with composite material and railing, and worked around some challenging deficiencies in the original underlying deck frame so we wouldn't have to completely replace the entire structure at much higher cost. Jeff worked around our schedule and kept us apprised of any questions or unexpected things that came up. We're totally happy with the end result, and it should last for many enjoyable years with almost no maintenance!"

I am a one man band so to speak. I have lived in Radford VA since 2020 when my wife and I moved from Indiana to help start Ascent Church in Blacksburg VA. \nI have been in remodeling work for the last decade in both Indiana and Virginia. I am also a certified residential maintenance technician, and cabinet builder, and I am a licensed contractor with a Specialty in Home Improvement. I would love to help with your next home project, I am willing to work on the smaller jobs the other guys will say isn't worth their time but would still make your home more yours. \n \nThere is no trip fee for anything within 50 miles of Radford.

Carpentry 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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.
