Customers say: Quality work

"I was very happy with them at the beginning but was more irritated than happy with them at the end. The two workers that did the demo, carpentry and painting were excellent. The guy that did the tile did okay with the tile but I found a place in the shower floor that was filled with caulk. It came out when I was cleaning and left a hole in the grout. There were several things they did at the end that I thought were sloppy. The supervisor told me to and quot;trust him and quot; and go ahead and pay him and he would come back the next work day and install the insulation that I paid for and I still haven't heard back after more than a month. I had someone else fix the things that were not right or undone.

"When my husbands work schedule changed allowing him to complete the work, Al was flexible about the change. I called and spoke to Al and he was gracious and understanding. Al performed everything as discussed and kept me informed as we went along. While the work was not needed, his service is great! I kept his card and plan to call him with future jobs."

"We are extremely pleased with Javier and his crew. The rental property we needed work done on is 1 1/2 hrs from where we live. Javier was very accommodating: he met me at my convenience to enter the property, to assess the work that needed to be done, and provided an estimate before the end of the day. He was ready to start the job immediately, and despite heavy rains that week, the entire job—every room in a 2-story, 2BR, 1 1/2BA townhouse, was done within 3 days—which was was earlier than he quoted. He even provided all he receipts for the supplies he purchased and provided a clearly-written invoice at the time of payment. He has shown the most integrity of any contractor I’ve personally ever worked with. I was in no way paid nor promised anything for my favorable review, but it is well earned. We will gladly hire Javier again when we need other work done."

"The overall experience was amazing, from day one in speaking with Brian was honesty, respect and professionalism. For me to live out of state and find the kind of craftsmanship that he offers is highly unusual. He went above and beyond in doing some extra work that was needed for my Sister's home. I highly recommend Skyline Construction to anyone that needs a dependable, honest and professional contractor. Thanks Skyline for the wonderful service you gave."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.

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 can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.
