"Jordan and his brother did a great job fixing a water leak at the base of my shower. He contacted me immediately after I started the project at Angi. The next day they arrived at my house promptly and got started right away. Jordan diagnosed the issue quickly after opening a small section of dry wall near the leak. The fix was to re-grout the tiles at the base of the shower and clean up the wet area. I am very happy with the results. And the cost was reasonable. I would certainly contact Jordan again for any future projects."

"Geo came and gave me an estimate on 3 porch post and a beam and sent a contract that defined what needed to be done. Talked to the subcontractors who weren't aware of the conditions or wheather they needed to install post brackets or any other procedures. The subcontractors talked to me about the need to replace concrete surrounding post and I told them, yes replace. Later I reazlized they hadn't neither caulked nor replace necesary concrete. From what I saw, they probably used the wrong type of post brackets for my particular situation. Somebody from Roof4Life needs to check and verify project is done correctly before they let subcontractors leave. They are the experts not me."

"From the initial visit for a quote to replace my old, dilapidated fence, to the completion of the project, Brian and his team were always complete professionals. Their workmanship is top notch and they don't consider the project complete until the customer is completely satisfied. Seven months after the fence was complete, a few of the posts warpped badly, causing my gate to lean. Brian sent a couple guys from his team to fix the issue. I know I can always rely on Milam Fencing LLC for any fence related projects and highly reccommend them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.
