"We had the flooring on 2 decks replaced and paint and repairs done on the back of our house. We had a change of plans from original work and Troy handled the change and new estimate quote with no problem. They were here daily until the work was completed. The whole crew was professional and respectful. I would recommend and wouldn't hesitate to use again, if needed."

"Mr. Drew was very efficient and professional in repairing the framing under my kitchen sink. He responded immediately to my inquiry, and explained exactly what needed to be done prior to starting. He completed the task within a few hours, and ensured that it was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Start to Finish Home Improvements, Inc. for all carpentry projects."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

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.

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.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
