"Our deck needed to be replaced and I sought an estimate for the job. Eric responded promptly, assessed the scope of work and provided the detailed estimate for a composite (Trex) replacement. I had done some checking into Trex and was prepared for an expensive job. To my surprise, his estimate was very reasonable and Eric said he could begin immediately with demo. We were so impressed with all aspects of Eric’s work; professionalism, promptness, communication, attention to detail and, most importantly, his quality workmanship. The deck was completed in a week and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! We are so thankful to have found Snappy Solutions for this project and for all our future needs!"

"Jake is a talented and hardworking carpenter. He took my ideas and design to build a gazebo and made it better than I could have imagined! Truly a work of art! He took care to make sure everything was exact and always checked with me during the process to make sure we were both on the same page. He is also a very easy going person to work with. Couldn't be happier. Thanks Jake!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Converting a carport into a garage can vary in difficulty depending on its configuration, the condition of the foundation or slab, and its location relative to the house. The process has a lot in common with a home addition, but you can often skip non-essential finishes like fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall and HVAC. The conversion requires experience with drywall, insulation, and other building materials to ensure it’s done safely and correctly. While it might be possible for a DIYer with the proper tools and skills to do the work, it is a complicated and potentially dangerous job. If you’re new to basic construction, it's best to leave this project to the professionals.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
