"Ken Ross was on time and eager to accomplish the job. He was open to suggestions and paid attention to details. The job was completed within the timeframe. I would have him do work for me again."
Using a hose with a nozzle, ladders, brushes and gloves, I removed tree debris from the gutters on this single story residence.
Great looking house.
The plow truck blocked my client in leaving her now way out. I quickly cleared a road in and proceeded to the front door.
Heavy snow removal work up on a roof top.
This is what the project looked like just after paint went on.

"We are just finishing up a 2nd story deck install with Dynamic Decks. The whole process was tremendous. From evaluating the tear down, to clearly going through the process of installing a quality and lasting deck, through the installation. Everyone was professional, they preformed quality craftmanship and everything was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend their work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Proper Murphy bed installation minimizes the risk of wall damage. A secure attachment requires making some holes for anchors or brackets, but these can be easily patched if the bed is removed. To ensure the installation is done correctly and safely, hiring a professional is recommended, especially if you have limited DIY experience.

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.

There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you’re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won’t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure.

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.
