"Kurt showed up on time and installed a shower door for my new Shower! He was very professional and kind with a very low cost to perform work that other carpenters turned down! He was very thorough and professional! I was so fortunate and lucky to have such a professional help me on this install when so many turned the task down! He cleaned up the area and spent sometime assisting me on another project in near future! I highly recommend Kurt to anyone who requires a job completed to Professional done with amazing expertise and very reasonable price! Thank you Sir! Leo USN RET"

"Bryan Costello did an amazing job on my front deck. I told him what I was looking for, and we came up with a plan. He’s very passionate about his work. He was surprisingly considerate to my work schedule. I am glad I found him. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to do future projects with him."

"So far, I have had John Handyman and More LLC do two projects for me. Both projects came out excellent. The pricing was very fair. John was very professional and more than ready to take on other projects. Highly recommend John's Handyman and More for services! Very Satisfied!"

"Josh and his crew were very professional and respectful. They stuck to the tack at hand and did a great job. They kept the area clean and worked hard. We really enjoy our new deck and would recommend them to others. And would use them again for other projects."

"Fantastic experience working with Mcdonald Construction. I had four pallets of Saint Augustine saw that needed to be laid in my front yard. Their price point was the best out of four total solicitations. Kasey was always quick to respond when I had any questions. We set up a plan with the date and time and they stuck to it. Kasey had adroit recommendations for issues that he saw. The crew did a fantastic job and we’re very flexible with modifications in the scope of work. Great company, great team, great work, and highly recommend them."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

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.
