"Fantastic and professional. We have a small house and lost some of our gutters to a snow storm, so we decided to renovate the rest of our gutter system while repairing the damaged sections. Working with HGE was a refreshingly positive experience. All of their team members were courteous, straightforward, and responsive. The work took two days with a weather interruption in between, but communication was prompt which let us accommodate the weather. All in all, great company. I just wish they did fencing so I could hire them again."

"Curtis, our project manager, was great! He was responsive to our requests and concerns â very easy to work with. I thought he managed the varied trades necessary for the building of our sunroom well. The whole project went smoothly after the county finally issued the building permits. I would definitely recommend Stoneridge and would use their services again â especially with Curtis as the project manager. And, Curtis had a crew clean up after all construction was done leaving us with a sparkling new sunroom. Thank you Stoneridge!"

"I worked with this company 30 years ago, when they first started up.. They impressed me then. I had a deck added and a hit tub hooked up AND the garage side doubled. I moved and used a very local company to add a small addition to this house and there were problems! So when it came time to add a large addition I sought out the prior company I used, Add A Deck. This company is every bit as good as before. Better, with years of all sorts of building experience under their belt. The leadership and the workers did a beautiful job. This job was complex and took 5 months to complete. I added a half bath, laundry room, screen porch, a hallway to connect the garage, pocket doors, skylight, walkout bay type window with a storage seat and doubled the size of the kitchen. I was here all day, every day during that time. They added plumbing, a plumber no, rerouted and added wiring and tied it into the whole house generator. They installed things I already had on hand for the addition. One of the business owners was on site nearly every day. All text messages and emails were answered quickly. I had no problems during the construction and none in this following year.. They listened and made all requested changes and adjustments with ease. The company name is less descriptive than their capabilities! Thank you Add A Deck. I love the addition and visitors are impressed and inspired. Itâ s some of the best money I ever spent! ð Carol"

"While on Angi, I researched this company. Great ratings with BBB, licensed and insured. I can't say enough how overly pleased I am with this company. They met me at my house on time. The two gentlemen were professional and had years of experience in the trade. Initially I was only getting a quote to replace a rotten deck support post. I was impressed with them that I added "adjusting 3 wooden picket gates" and cutting limbs from a tall tree. I was so lucky to find a contractor that did what they said they were going to do, in the time they said it would take and the 3 projects were completed 100% to my satisfaction. This company gives 100% customer service. When they finished, they left the yard immaculate..not one piece of trash. I already have a spring project lined up. BMF Contracting is now my go to Contractor."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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.

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.
