I would definitely recommend them!"

"This was an usual project. It was redoing a mini bar. Hard to find a contractor that would do it or had the time. Homepro was great lead by project manager Shir Hadad. Jumped right in there and took it on and got the job done. Really appreciate their professionalism."

818 Shutters & Shades was built to fix what's broken about buying window treatments. We're not a legacy showroom — we're operators who studied this industry, found where it fails customers, and rebuilt the experience around getting it right.\n\nThat starts with curation. We've handpicked the best manufacturers and the best installers, rather than pushing whatever's easiest to sell. It continues with transparency — we've built our own technology to speed up the process, keep you informed at every step, and help you actually understand what you're buying instead of guessing.\n\nThe result is a smoother, clearer, more precise experience from your first consultation to final install — every window measured twice and fitted by installers we trust, protected by our limited lifetime warranty.\n\nSchedule your complimentary in-home design consultation:\n🌐 818shuttersandshades.com\n📞 Call or text (818) 665-7244\n✉️ [email protected]\n📅 Book online, anytime

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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.

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.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
