Q: Do I need special lumber for framing a house?

• <div><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-frame-house.htm">how to frame a house</a> includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what&rsquo;s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about finding the right lumber.</p></div>

He installed a door that fits better than the original new doors that were brand new. He actually did the door and the screen door. He installed them in such a way that I could open both doors with ease from my wheelchair. He also installed a small ramp to help go into the house.
