"I lived in my house for over 10 years and haven’t done much repairs. When it was time to get it ready to rent it out, Chris did an amazing job painting the garage, repairing holes in the wall, fixing the doors, repairing the stove, etc. Chris is dependable, responsive and does great work, all at a fair price! I highly recommend Chris and his team for any home repair needs!!"

"There are 3 things I would highlight about the work of H Drywall: responsiveness, expertise and professionalism. Also (very important) - friendliness. It's not easy to find all of these in one company! Harry and his crew have been indispensable in getting us through several stages of custom projects in a timely manner. He's been quick to respond to our requests for help right from the start. The quality of his work is exceptional and we were delighted to find that he does painting as well as drywall since we need some specialized painting for a staircase project. Every member of Harry's crew has been thorough, meticulous, and courteous ensuring our satisfaction at every step. We continue to rely on HDrywall as we work through a series of projects. I can't overstate how lucky we feel to have found this company. I'm so grateful that Harry has been willing to work us into his busy schedule when we needed him. I recommend H Drywall to anyone who wants high quality work at very reasonable prices."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

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.
