"What can I say, other than.... David at Home Front is the best!! David recently completed two projects in preparation for a new exterior paint job on my home later this summer. The first project was after an exterior inspection, some window trims and door moldings needed to be replaced before painting. Upon removal, additional work would be necessary to repair some hidden damages, including some siding boards being replaced. David was very helpful explaining the issues, the resolutions, and the steps necessary to make the repairs. He made the necessary repairs promptly, professionally, and the quality of his craftsmanship was evident. Even the neighbors would stop by and comment on his quality workmanship. The second project was concerning the same issues, but on an older deck attached onto the back of the home. There were many scenarios being considered - making the necessary repairs, making the repairs and completely replacing all the wooden boards with composite, or a complete enlargement redesign and rebuild. David was very helpful explaining each scenario and the proposals to accomplish each separate task. With his guidance, the decision was made to replace and to expand the deck space. What a great decision!! Thank you David. David is a true professional and his craftsmanship is truly remarkable. We were very fortunate to have David working for us and looking forward to the possibility of future projects. For those of you reading this review, have some friendly advice, hire David, you won't be disappointed!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.
