"Came one day to get an estimate and from there set date to build the stairs. Perfect for a handicapped person or like me getting knee surgery. The price was exactly what I expected to pay. Will be giving the information to my daughter for her step-mom and dad. Thank you so much!"

"Found Sentri on Angi. Jeanette and Violet were very pleasant and efficient in getting a contractor to me in the time frame needed. The contractor was excellent and the roof looks great! I would definitely work with them again if I had additional projects."

"I have hired Faith for multiple projects—power washing, staining, rodent holes patched and brush removal. Each time, she exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail is very evident in the quality of work that she consistently delivers no matter what the task is. Plus, she is super easy to work with and brings professional insight to each job. Faith is a top notch worker and someone that I highly recommend."

"Tom was very eager to help and to make the job the best he could for the amount of money I had to work with. Overall they do a pretty good job. Scheduling delays occurred with both roof and gutter crews due to a busy storm season. While understandable, the delays could have been communicated better and cleanup a little more thorough once the job was completed. I think a ‘B’ is a pretty fair rating, the work didn’t blow my mind but was satisfactory and should last for years to come."

"We hired Tommy and his crew to replace supports, build a custom rail system, and build two gates for our back deck. Tommy made sure to outline material/labor costs upfront and worked with local vendors to ensure the most economical options for our project. They worked through some pretty rough weather, but put in full-days and always left the job-site clean. The crew's attention to detail was incredible, and suggestions they had along the way were always welcomed as we truly felt they were focused on the quality of their work. My wife and I are confident that we have found a trusted crew that we very much look forward to working with for our next project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.

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.
