"The workers were flexible as the design changed as the construction progressed and the work was completed on schedule to our expectations. We would recommend Patsy for your building project ( large or small) now that he is back from a serious leg injury and can better control the quality and sub-contractors. You may call us for additional details regarding our positive recommendation on this contractor, Patsy Cicala."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
