"He did everything he was hired to do - and then did so much more. His work was excellent - he arrived on time, was courteous, and left the area clean. We will hire him again for all our carpentry work. We will give his name to all our friends who might need a finish carpenter."

"Pine Top did a phenomenal work! Payton the owner was personable and very patient with our requests. We were very particular and he hit it out of the park. We used them for a larger rennovation project in our home and they made our vision come to life. Every detail was paid attention to and we are beyond happy with the finished product"

"I had R.U.S.S Custom Builds come out and do a framing job for me. First off, the customer service and overall interaction with me as a client was on point. We got together, figured everything out and got straight to work. Russ is a hard working man who will get the job done right and and do it to the best of his abilities. He treats his customers fairly and with respect. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to get an amazing, high quality job done!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
