"Chuck and his crew were amazing. They were prompt, professional, and really helpful. They helped me with the job requested as well as a few minor home repairs that I noticed on the day scheduled. Chuck made a point to verify with me that the work was up to standard and he and his crew had great attention to detail. They are a friendly and good-hearted group as well as meticulous with their work. Also, the price was very reasonable and all-inclusive. I will definitely hire Steadfast again."

"Rodi is very efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. We hired a bad contractor to build our deck originally and they missed several things that should have been done at the time. Rodi fixed everything for a very reasonable price and added many years of life to our deck in doing so. Since he did such a great job, we also hired him to do a few other small projects around the home. You will not be disappointed!"

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.

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.

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.

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. 

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.
