"Nick was extremely busy but took time to come introduce himself and look at the job. He replaced some rotting boards on the house and around our woodstove pipe. He did excellent work and came when he said he would be there. I will recommend him to anyone else who is looking for a builder."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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 the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
