"Raff Inc. is the best of the best! Jerry is an honest and hardworking man as well as his crew! They replaced all my cedar siding with the hardy board as well as replaced my shutters, added fascia boarding, and installed a new door with sidelights. Jerry has also come out for complete small projects such as the roofing and deck on my childs playhouse, hung a swing on my porch that was not installed correctly by someone else, and even fixed a fascia board for free that was sticking out due to storms. Jerry pays close attention to detail and gives 110%. I receive compliments daily on my home by neighbors who always inquire about who remodeled our home. He has done work for others in my neighborhood. Planning to have Jerry come up and install flooring in my kitchen soon. So glad we found him! Worth every penny!"

"This contractor was excellent. He and his crew removed my front door, side lights, and transom, and installed a new unit. The unit I ordered was 1 inch to short width wise, and this contractor added materials to make sure it fit. Crew was friendly and he explained every step of the process to me so that I knew what was going on. Would highly recommend this contractor and will use them for future projects."

"Chris built steps for my new storage shed. He came to do the job when he said he would and accomplished the task for a very reasonable, fair price. He cleaned the work area before he left. I will certainly call him again when I need his skills around my house and recommend him to others with no reservations. He did a very professional job that pleased me very much."

"ZB, from L&Z Enterprises was our pro. The job was attaching a new bed frame to a headboard. The hardware that came with the headboard was not adequate, so our pro fabricated a bracket that would work. We are very satisfied and will not hesitate to call on him in the future, highly recommend."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.

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.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
