"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."

"Kyle did an amazing job in our home. He listened to everything we wanted and brought it to life. He took the time to explain everything to us and answered a million questions and his response time was very quick. His recommendations were awesome and it was clear that he had tons of experience in multiple areas. His tile design and installation skills are amazing. He has a multitude of talent in building and designing interior rooms from floors to ceilings and we are so happy with the outcome! We would definitely hire him again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.
