"This contractor is great! He works very hard, always pleasant and responsive. He keeps the work area tidy and has been very careful with our landscaping. The deck project is shaping up fast and he has made some construction suggestions that are valuable. I would definitely hire him again and would have no hesitation recommending Robert Almekinder Construction to our neighbors and friends."

"I highly recommend Keigh for any home maintenance or improvement projects. He helped us with a wide range of tasks—from landscaping and power washing the house to assembling furniture and handling various odd jobs around the home. He was always punctual, professional, and incredibly trustworthy. What impressed me most was how efficiently he worked; I only had to explain each task once, and he got it done right the first time. His attention to detail and reliability made the whole process smooth and stress-free."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
