As the owner of “GLISZCZYNSKI TRIM INC” I have been building stairs for 18 years! I work mostly by myself depending on the size of the project. I started out in carpentry doing Hardyboard siding then moving to interior trim. When the siding work slowed. Eventually nobody wanted to tackle the crown molding or stairs on our crew so I jumped at the opportunity. I have always been very artistic,even as a child so naturally it just flowed. I ended up stepping away from trim work and started my own stair building Buisiness running mostly on word of mouth. Here I am almost 20 years later still being challenged by new types of stairs daily. From large wooden curved stairs with bent rails to steel cable systems, I absolutely love what I do!

"Very professional his work is top tier very satisfied with his work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.
