"We had a great experience working with Top Bros construction and remodeling. They fully removed our tile and wood flooring and installed LVP that we had provided. They also installed new trim and baseboards throughout, which look great. They were timely and efficient. We are very happy with the outcome!"

"The Environmental Solutions MKB really went the extra mile on my project. I needed asbestos tile and adhesive removed from my finished basement and stairs. The quotation process was simple and informative. They came out and assessed and had everything quoted the same day I created the job on homeadvisor. Everyone I talked to was super helpful. As for the results, it was way better than I expected. They were even able to remove tiles under walls that were added when the basement was finished. How they did it, I am still not sure. But I'm impressed. They removed the adhesive as well and performed a post job air quality lab test. They also removed carpet and carpet tack strips that were nailed to the tile which saved me a bunch of pre-work. The house did smell like the chemical solvent they used to remove the adhesive but that was expected and it cleared up after a few hours. The jobsite area was clean after they had finished and they took care of disposal. I have nothing bad to say about these guys, they do good 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.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.
