Owner operated. Uses subs for labor & large jobs. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges. No service charges. May contact through email.

"Andy's crew is very professional and did a great job. My home was difficult to get drywall into. They carried each sheet upstairs. Walls finished very well. Dedicated spray equipment created smooth application of knock down texture. Ceilings Looks great. No damage. No surprises. Priced right, but they weren't the cheapest option. On time. No excuses. They protected my property and cleaned up after themselves. As a property manager, I will definitely use Scott's again."

Have a gentleman help with household tasks. With 20 years of experience working in construction, I have a variety of skills to bring to your door. When you need someone for the little things you need done around the house, I’m your man. My experience includes furniture assembly, drywall repair, room painting, sink and toilet repairs, roof repairs, light fixture installation, picture hanging, and moving heavy things to where you need them. Not sure if I can do a job? Ask me! You will always catch me with a smile and be respectful of your property and preferences. I make sure jobs are done right and according to what you wanted done. A recent transplant to Iowa from the South, I’ll bring that famous hospitality so you will be comfortable having me work in your home.

"Michael was very professional did a wonderful job on what I had asked him to do in my shower. I would definitely use him for other projects."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

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.
