"Eric took over a partially completed remodeling job. The job
included framing a new floor where there had been a sunken conversation pit,
hanging doors, replacing the old baseboards and completing a wall with new drywall.
His bid was very reasonable and he completed the job quickly and efficiently. I
would use him again and I would definitely recommend him to others.

"Javier is wonderful to work with. Over the last 5 years, he did many projects for my elderly grandparents in Salinas. When I contact him, he is prompt in every way: He responds to my texts, does the needed work without delay, and bills quickly. He is a nice person, honest, has broad knowledge, does quality work, and is a clear communicator. Javier has made my construction projects feel easy. All my experiences with him feel very positive, leave me with a good feeling, and a good finished project."

"Elvis is a very solid guy. Very knowledgeable technically, competent, efficient and thorough. He was able to locate and repair a previous imperfect installation by another repairman, so now the doorbell works very well. Elvis is also very personable with a very friendly, pleasant and reassuring manner. He explained everything very carefully and in detail. We went over all of the options. The work was done very well, very successfully, and was of excellent quality. The job was also very reasonably priced. I am highly satisfied. I would highly recommend Elvis to anyone needing electrical repair work and installations."

"Mauricio did an excellent job of clearing my very dirty brick patio, front steps, paths and driveway. He was efficient and the result is amazing. The bricks on the patio were black with moss growing on them. Now they look like new."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Miguel on several home improvement projects, and I cannot speak highly enough of his skills, professionalism, and dedication. Miguel undertook a range of tasks, including plumbing under the house, replacing the water heater, fencing, a bathroom remodel, and various bathroom repairs. From the outset, Miguel demonstrated exceptional knowledge and expertise in plumbing. The work under the house and the water heater replacement were executed flawlessly, with great attention to detail and a focus on quality. Miguel provided us with peace of mind and a reliable plumbing system. The fencing project was another testament to Miguel's versatility and craftsmanship. He meticulously planned and constructed a sturdy, aesthetically pleasing fence that not only enhances the security of our property but also adds to its overall curb appeal. Miguel’s eye for detail and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the project. Additionally, Miguel took care of various bathroom repairs with the same level of expertise and dedication. No job was too small for him, and he ensured that every detail was addressed, leaving us with a bathroom that is in excellent working order. Throughout all these projects, Miguel's professionalism, punctuality, and excellent communication stood out. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with the work, and his friendly demeanor made the entire experience pleasant. I highly recommend Miguel for any home improvement projects. His work is of the highest quality, and his commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Thank you, Miguel, for your outstanding work and for making our home a better place!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
