"Mr. Turner was very nice and listened to my needs. He is a contractor that specializes in large projects but didn't hesitate to offer me his services in regards to my smaller project needs. His prices were extremely fair and the attention to detail in his work was second to none. I have already had him start an estimate to remodel my kitchen and have already recommended him to my neighbors. THANK YOU DE Turner & Sons! You will always get my business!"

"Went wonderful with the contractor. They were great to work with and helped us navigate a very troublesome insurance company. They drove from northern Virginia to silver spring to do the work as well, not any easy task and a long commute in traffic. They were just great."

"I needed a bathroom exhaust fan replaced, the motor had died, and needed the duct work leading outside to the connecting vent looked at, there had been some condensation forming on the fan and ceiling. I was immediately contacted about my project to setup a quote. Jeiser was on time for the quote, and he was able to do the job the next day. Jeiser did a great job, was punctual, and cleaned up the work area. He replaced the fan, cleaned the ductwork leading outside, and replaced the exterior vent. I highly recommend him. I will certainly be using JANI Construction for any future projects."

"Mr. Smith did an amazing job power washing and cleaning my deck. When he finished it looked brand new and if it had just been built. He was extremely friendly and professional. I spoke to Mr. Smith on a Tuesday morning and he was at my house that same afternoon to look at the job and quote a price. The work was completed on Thursday of the same week. I highly recommend this contractor. 5 stars is not a high enough rating for this contractor (Mr. Smith) Douglas Hall"

Unfinished 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. 

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.
