"Brian is a friendly, professional, and extremely hard worker. He did a number of jobs for us, to include fence, shed, and porch repair and he even built a custom shelving unit to our specifications. All the work was of the highest quality, completed on time, and the pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him and I've already got another round of projects lined up for him. We're extremely happy to have found him through Angi."

"Josh Bond, the owner, is very dependable. His co. replaced all the flooring and top rails on our 16 x 35 deck and did an excellent job. They also painted the interior of our house plus the kitchen cabinets, hung several new light fixtures, installed new flooring in the kitchen and one of the baths and other misc. things."

"We got all we asked for and more from Huezo's Construction. Fair pricing, quality work in every way, promises kept, PLUS the job was done ahead of schedule. They say you can't have it done right, done quickly, and done affordably.... well with Huezos Construction, we hit the lottery and got all three!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"We had cracks in the dyed mortar of the bricks above our garage. Grady took the time to match the color, even with the color having aged 10 years, and you would not even be able to tell that there was new mortar. If your project is anything like ours, you will not be disappointed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

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.
