"Does an amazing job. We had a large deck built onto our house.Very professional, always showed up on time. Price was very fair, especially for the quality of craftsmanship. He does not cut corners to rush anything. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he builds. Deck turned out perfect, built to last and very sturdy. Would highly recommend."

"Chris did a great job on my decks. It was a very difficult job as it was a rebuild from the existing deck. The deck is high, and it was attached to my roof. It was a project that required a great deal of planning and skill. Chris also had to work during the extreme heat and the job was very labor intense. I love the decks! Chris did an exceptional job and stayed on budget. He also is always pleasant and communicates well. He kept me updated throughout the project, so I always knew what to expect. I would highly recommend Chris!"

"Mike Taylor and Jay Lembke of M & J Handymen took care to build the replacement deck more structurally sound than the original, while matching the look and functionality that we wanted. They were knowledgeable and careful to meet code requirements. They dealt easily with unexpected issues and kept our budget in mind. They kept us updated on progress and schedule. They were considerate of our property. They are great to work with, and we will be happy to work with them in the future."

"They did a good job. I was just hoping it would stop my wood floors from creaking but they are worse. Overall believe the work done will be good for the house support though"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.
