"Stephen was so easy to work with. He had some great ideas that we did not even think of that really made our new bathroom pop! he was here when he said he would be, he missed a day but came on a Saturday to make it up. Cleaned up every day. We took the bathroom down to the studs and he built the walls out with better, stronger lumber, did NOT cut corners even though it was clear he was very busy. He was done when he said he would be even though we asked him to do a little more. He was not the least expensive but, I believe he was fairly priced. top quality work. I am hoping I can get him to remodel our Kitchen next year. He worked with me to get the job sized right so I could afford it and he would be able to do a great job. Great guy, great workers, and we love the completed project."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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

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.

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.
