"Excellent communication, timeliness of project, and quality of work was wonderful. R&R built us a 16x16 deck with wire spindles on a slope in the woods. Challenging terrain, but they handled it like professionals and moved fast to complete the job early. They also built us a secondary portable porch as an addition to an existing porch. It is exacting what we wanted and couldnâ t be happier with the workmanship. Thanks Phil and Zack! Highly recommend R&R Outdoor for any of your needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
