"I'm very happy with the work done by DC Framing. The old decking was replaced with new Trex type material that looks great. Balthazar adapted my old lattice work to fit my new design. He was a "can do" person. The project was delayed because of rain but completed in a reasonable amount of time."

"We were very happy with Addison Orr’s work. We admire his work ethic. This was a big job taking over a week and he showed up on time or early each day. He’s a very hard worker and worked long hours even when the weather was very cold and windy. We highly recommend him and will be hiring him in the future for more projects."

"We had a serious leak in our shower which was put in 2-3 years ago by another contractor. Fred had to remove the entire shower floor and first row of tiles, re build the shower pan and retile it. He and his team were thorough and walked me through each step and why he was doing it. They met each deadline they set up. They were really great team to work with."

"Heath Stairworks did a great job on our stairway. They added a beautiful hand rail and iron spindles. They listened to what we had in mind, made suggestions, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. I would definitely use them again."

"I appreciate when people keep their word on things. I hired Fahey Built Construction to repair some damage to my property. He was there on time, with a great attitude and went so far as to point out things that I had not even considered. He completed the project under time and under budget more than meeting my expectations. And how often does that happen? I am very thankful to Patrick for the work and his professionalism. My wife was so happy, she suggested that we have him take on the bathroom remodel that we have been putting off. So we are. You know how it goes, "happy wife, happy life." Looking forward to getting this project started as well. Peace of mind goes a long way. Thanks Patrick!"

"I absolutely love all the work that Fred has done for us. We've used him for multiple renovations over the years and his team is always on time, professional, and efficient. We've had our stairs, three bathrooms, and backyard redone by him and we will always come back for future renovations and projects. Fred is straightforward and gives you a fair price for the work you need done and he always stands behind the work that they do. It's definitely hard to find a good contractor that takes a lot of pride in their work and I have never been let down by this company."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.
