"Master MCG was unable to do the job until April .However, Master MCG did me a huge favor when I asked if he could please refer me to another carpenter. He referred me to Jesse Miranda of Artistic Wood, LLC who was able to take on the job immediately, and he brought in a second carpenter (Joe Yost) and they did an excellent job, for a reasonable price. Jesse was also very good at finding solutions and tweaking things to work/fit, etc. I would hire both Master MCG and Jesse (and Joe) again."

"Emilio with 614 Drywall was great to work with and delivered a great product. I had them tape, mud, and texture some walls that only had drywall hung and needed repairs. They fixed everything and made it look beautiful. Emilio even personally came by to fix a couple small adjustments that i requested 2 weeks after the job was done. I would highly recommend!"

"Bob mixed his carpentry skills with his creativity and built a custom dining table and four stools to match for me. He was very communicative throughout the whole design process and his attention to detail did not go unnoticed. My table is the center point of my space and I couldnâ t be happier with the craftsmanship or the customer service. Thanks, Bob!"

Customers say: Quick response

"I hired Bruce at Live Edge Vail to create a custom, live edge bar top to replace an existing counter in a clients new home in Steamboat Springs. We had been working with another vendor who opted out of the project after going back and forth for several weeks. As disappointed as we were in that situation it really all worked out to our benefit when we found Bruce. He was extremely professional, had an abundance of expertise and created exactly what I had envisioned for my client. Bruce worked within our time frame and installed within several weeks of our initial consultation. The end result is a stunning centerpiece to the room and I have a very appreciative and happy client. Honestly, could not recommend Bruce and Live Edge Vail enough."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

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.
