"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!"

"Great job! They did the work they promised on schedule at the agreed upon price. We have some bay windows that were original construction and the floor was not insulated. They put in insulation and proper soffit. Looks great! And for the first time in 7 seven years, our house main floor is not cold this winter! I have other projects that I will have them do as well!"

"I have been using Gary Ryder for home repairs, maintenance and improvements for many years, and in 4 different homes that I have owned. He has done everything I have ever needed done. When asked about his rates, he will quote you an hourly rate. When asked how long it will take, his estimate is spot on! Just a few things done in the past are a beautiful custom deck build, tongue and grove ceiling on my cottage, and shelving installations. I also had him do things for my grandchildren such as trampoline set up, gas powered ATV assembly that was shipped in a box (Gary got that assembled and running under his time estimate), and built a tree house with electricity! I love his integrity, honesty and reliability. He is a Jack Of All Trades, and I trust his referrals if something comes up that he is not licensed or equipped for. Always my first call for anything, thank you Gary Ryder! Highly recommended!"

"Paul did an outstanding job in our home. He provided us more options of finishes and final design than any other contractor we requested quotes from. He was able to meet our budget and exceed our expectations. Overall the quality of his work is outstanding and he was able to complete the job in just days. He replaced our outdated and out of code balusters and railing with a beautiful wood and iron combination that turned out better than we imagined. I would highly recommend him and we are so glad that we found him to do such outstanding work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.
