"This was Mr. Raff's second job with us. The result is wonderful. The ceiling in our carport began to split open and hang down. Mr. Raff said it was from humidity and an indoor product being used outdoors 40 years ago. He determined how to repair the ceiling and his crew spent two days covering the old ceiling, framing the wood with lathe and caulking every seam then painting with two coats of paint. This also involved a ceiling light. The crew cleaned up everything and the carport looks great. Thank you all!!!"

"Trevor has been an amazing contractor who has helped us through the process of installing a large interior door for an office. He has helped ensure the space was properly prepared for installation of the door. The other contractors who have assisted Trevor have also exceeded my expectations. They have been extremely detail oriented and have done everything to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely work with Trevor for any future projects."

"Mr. KP is great at what he does and he does it with kindness and passion. The service is always exceptional.This is the second project he has done for me. He installed a patio extension for me about eight years ago and I am still enjoying it.This time I needed a driveway extension and I'm so glad I kept his number. His quote was the most reasonable and cost effective. He also went above and beyond by covering an existing area of my yard with dirt that was left damaged by a previous plumbing job. He also gave a solution for an area of my yard that was a fall hazard for my mother and didn't charge me for the extra duties. He and his team took pride and care in completing the driveway project and I am excited to once again be enjoying the finished project. I will definitely use Veza Properties for future projects."

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.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

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.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.
