"Vasilly had to change the day/time for the job he bid, but he called & rescheduled agreeing to come on a SUNDAY morning. He made it that day; on time - a pleasant surprise. It took him about 3 & 1/2 hours to build & mount the railing in the garage. This single railing installed in our garage looks great (nicer than we'd anticipated & will serve us very well (safety assistance after surgery required this addition). We were concerned it might look really 'weird' but the materials Vasilly chose along with his skillful installation has totally eliminated that concern. Total construction & materials: $400."

"David Jackson and his crew did an outstanding job for us painting our home and repairing a significant portion of the hardy plank and framing under our front porch. The crew was professional, friendly and willing to spend time answering questions. David also personally took the time to explain concerns he saw with the house and made some recommendations to us going forward. I'd highly recommend hiring Millenium."

"Mike was extremely professional and had great attention to detail. He was able to put me on his schedule quickly and completed the job within a few days. Mike was very knowledgeable with the types of materials, products, and options available. We worked out the perfect price point that was within my budget, which was a lot more affordable than every other option in town. He worked rain or shine, has an efficient process down, and works with a good team, who were also trustworthy and professional. Iâ d highly recommend Mike to any friends and family looking for fence work."

"Prompt estimate was within my budget. They were ready to start right away. They work fast to get old shingles off (three layers) had to replace some plywood and 2x8's.They worked in the rain until it turned into hail. Nice people, neat and organized. They were careful with my possessions. I'd hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.
