"We recently had the pleasure of working with Property Trio for custom built-in cabinets in our living room, office and bedroom, and we couldn't be happier! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Property Trio listened carefully to our vision, even our crazy ideas and truly brought it to life. The cabinets are not only beautiful but also provide all the storage we needed, perfectly combining functionality with style. They transformed our spaces and exceeded our expectations! The attention to detail and craftsmanship is evident in every inch of the work. If you're looking for a contractor who can turn your ideas into reality, I highly recommend Property Trio. We are thrilled with the results!"

"Mike, the owner, was excellent to work with. We hired him to do a whole house remodel including exterior landscaping and projects. He considered all of our needs and even brought in creative ideas and solutions for us. He communicated effectively and was professional and kind through the process. We 100% recommend him for any home remodeling work and will call him again for any futures needs we may have. Thank you Mike!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
