"Andrew is a master deck builder, and incredibly creative. Our new deck is truly a work of art. He constantly came up with ideas to make our deck one of a kind. His attention to detail is remarkable, he is not satisfied unless every detail is perfect. Andrew is the hardest working contractor we have ever used and put in long hours on the job site. As beautiful as the deck looks, some of the most impressive features are not noticeable because they are in the way the deck was framed. The deck is rock solid. It will be around for decades to come. And finally, Andrew was a joy to talk to every day. He’s a very honest person, and I enjoyed learning some of his skills. Thanks again Andrew!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Mike and his team worked for a month on my house before we moved in. It was important that we found somebody we trusted since they would be in the house when we weren't around. Mike installed crown moulding throughout, painted the entire house, put up board and batten feature walls in the hallway, dining room, great room, framed all our doors in craftsman type framing, framed in a whole wall for us and installed french doors, and built custom shelves for our pantry. His is the master at attention to detail and suggested many things that I hadn't thought of. I would highly recommend Mike and his team to anyone that wants high quality work and a great person to work with!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

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. 

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.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
