"Barefoot Painting did a great job with the iron fence at the entrance to our subdivision. They treated it and painted it and it now looks great! Their communication and customer service was also great. It was a pleasure to work with them!!"

"Bert has been wonderful since the start. He answers his phone and texts you back promptly. He shows up when he says he will which is amazing considering how hard it is for a contractor to respond to you or show up when they say they will. He did electrical work for my new pool installation and is going to do a couple other items for me as well since he can do wide variety of work. He also backs his work if you have any issues. Highly recommended! Iâ d give him 10 stars if I could."

"I cannot recommend Rolling Green Fence high enough. I would give them 10 stars if I could!! Absolutely stellar job - even better than I had hoped for. From the outstanding customer service I received when the owner, Buck, answered my first call, to the final cleanup when the job was through, every part of this job was of the highest quality. Not only was Buck incredibly responsive, his team completed my job in record time, with the greatest quality of any workers I have ever hired - bar none. My job was not standard. I needed an 8 foot wooden fence to be installed in a gully on the side of my yard to ensure privacy. Not only does the fence they installed look incredible, the team completely transformed the look of my yard by expertly aligning the adjoining fence - not even part of the original project - to almost completely eliminate the look of a fence moving down a slope. I watched the team - and a fantastic team they were - measure, align, run a level line, adjust, custom cut, and perfect each board in my fence. The supervisor worked mathematic equations on the wood, explaining to the others how he was making his calculations, and perfecting the job for me. I could not be more impressed. There is true pride in workmanship with this company and that is a rare trait to find in a contractor. Buck and his team really brought my vision to life in a big way and I cannot say enough about this amazing company. Well done, one and all!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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.
