"Incredibly happy with their work and my decision to use LHQC. They were professional, courteous, skilled, and hard-working. They were flexible to accommodate my unpredictable schedule and meet in the later evening hours. I can tell they take pride in their work due to their precision and attention to detail during the project. Outstanding job demolishing the previous wooden deck and replacing with composite. This included a completely new frame, support posts, railings, and stairs. While installing the railings I was impressed at how they took extra measures to protect the new floorboards from dents and scratches by first laying a tarp across the deck for their equipment and materials to lay upon. Each day they ensured the area was clean and tidy, even if it meant staying late. Impact to the surrounding lawn was minimal - in my case it will recover fully on its own with no repair work. Fantastic job. Bravo."

"John installed crown and base molding throughout entire kitchen. He drywalled areas where walls had been removed and arches expanded. He was very efficient, professional, and completed the job as agreed on time and within budget. We will use him in the future for other remodeling projects!"

"I hired JWC to repair my sill plate and associated face boards, an approximate 4x28 foot area sitting under my patio door. To do so, he and his crew had to jack up one side of the house and work in a tight crawl space and outside in nasty weather. Jordan and his crew were very easy to work with and displayed excellent attention to detail. His rates were most reasonable and he did an excellent job of answering my questions and addressing my concerns in a timely manner. I plan to hire him again for other work."

"Andy Garcia, of Sirus Builds, has worked on a few projects for us over the years, including installation of a new deck, painting and priming interior spaces, fixing a gutter that was improperly installed, and installing interior trim and molding in our home. We live in an old house, circa 1917, with lathe and plaster walls and not a square corner to be found. We call Mr. Garcia "The Problem Solver." He is smart and creative in making available materials fit into impossible places. He's very professional, coming into a job ready to listen first and then checks in regularly once the work begins. In the case of the trim and molding job, he was able to recreate the look of the old molding when it was unavailable elsewhere."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

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. 

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
