"Victor has done an absolutely amazing job on my ball and stick corner chair. It’s from late 1800’s and to say I’m extremely happy about how it turned out would be an understatement! Thank you Victor and Family Furniture antiques in winter park Florida for restoring this piece. It’s an absolute treasure"

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

"They arrived on time. Didn't have a tall enough ladder, let him use my 20 ft ladder. Went right to work. Did a great job of repairing the soffit. Even put the ladder back in place. Would recommend C & T"

"I got referred to JPL painting by another satisfied customer, so I got in contact with the owner, Julian to get an estimate to paint my house. He was very responsive and gave me a fair price. I have many compliments from the HOA board members. Julianâ s employees were quick and super clean. I highly recommend JPL painting"

"Jason Gliszczynski is AMAZING at building a staircase. I hired a contractor outside of HomeAdvisor and boy do I regret it! That contractor destroyed my staircase dream reno. Jason came and looked at all the disaster and was able to take the staircase completely out and rebuild it so beautifully. He did what the previous person could NOT do in 4 months in just 2 days! Instead of the nightmare staircase it was, it is now my dream come true staircase. My husband and I are very happy every time we go up and down our stairs. We HIGHLY recommend him!!"

"Lee and Nick are the best. They provided me with an accurate estimate and drawing for our new cabinets. Lee's follow through during the process was great and kept us well informed. On the day of install the team tape off our non-work areas to reduce dust and vacuumed up each day when they finished. There was an error in ordering the doors and they were not able to install them for 5 weeks. When this error was noticed, prior to leaving, Nick and the Team made sure all cabinets and drawers were usable so we could put everything away and use all the features. Lee kept us posted on the doors and when they arrived Nick and the team promptly came over and installed them. The paint colors on the doors matched perfectly with everything else. We will use Better cabinets and baths again for any kitchen and bath needs."

"Joe did a great job!! He even went above and beyond by adjusting our other two shutters. When it’s hard to find needed help in a new area, it was very nice finding someone who came when he said he would, and the cost of service was reasonable."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

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.
