"Stuart and his team were amazing. I had to work with them long distance and hope for the best. They exceeded my expectations and were a pleasure to work with. Not only did they paint both exterior and interior, but did carpentry and repair work, too. All was done with great attention to detail and any questions or concerns were dealt with right away. I have recommended them to everyone without hesisitation."

"Great Service, I reached out for a dry rot siding that has non-standard planks. Matt customized the siding planks to match my existing siding and repaired the leak as well. He did the work so well that I further hired him to repair another poor job from the another big contractor company that repaired my wind storm damage from a few years ago. Highly recommended."

"This was my first time looking for a painter for a big project- our entire house. I had no idea how to ensure that I would find someone who was skilled, honest, made good use of materials and time and was easy to work with. I hit the jackpot with hiring Peter. He went above expectations and completed the house quickly and even vacuumed the carpet! Highly recommend him- he is a great guy too."

"Was the only contractor that called me back right away. Scheduled an appt on the phone. Got the project completed before the time frame he suggested. Very friendly. Showed many different jobs he has done. Those photos are amazing. Always a bit early every day to make sure the guys knew what they were doing for the day. Would totally use these guys again."

"Nikita was knowledgeable, friendly, easy to communicate with. He performed the work himself. He showed up on time for both the estimate appointment and the work appointment. He stated that he researched the building codes before performing the work to make sure it was done correctly. I would definitely recommend."

"The crew was polite and professional. No nonsense, and had a hustle to their cadence. As a retired framing contractor I was pleased to see this efficiency as the job was completed in a timely manner. Impressed they took the time to stop and ask me how I wanted a particular aspect plumbed when in doubt. The job was done cleanly and it looks great. Highly recommended A !"

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.

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.

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

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

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.
