"Great! They were fast, courteous and did an excellent job prepping the house. Outstanding ceiling/wall lines with two different colors/sheen. They made sure I was happy with the work and quickly returned later to touch a spot up."

"Never saw contractor again after job started. Had 2 water leaks under new sink. Subcontractor used unlicensed **plumbers** First leak, Wilson said it would be 5 days to get someone there. Second leak, the subcontractor refused to come back. Both times I called a real plumbing company to fix leaks, which was more expense on me, for mistakes the contractor was responsible for. It was a small partial bath remodel, new vanity countertop, sink and faucet, new toilet, and all cabinetry repainted along with window frame. I am sure he had much larger jobs, but not a good excuse. Do not believe his 3 Year Warranty. The guy that was in charge of doing the counters came 3 times to measure and would not send plumber. the first thing they did was install a toilet which i he stored until it was ready to install. When they got ready to install the sink and installed the sink backwards. They got this corrected but created leaks in the plumbing. I texted to let them know there were leaks and the washers were not installed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.

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.
