"I felt that they did a really great job. My baseboards look terrific. Their knowledge and craftsmanship really showed in the finished project. I would recommend SMC Framing and Drywall without any reservations. They were friendly polite and great to work with."

"Quint and the boys did a fantastic job with our vinyl siding installation. We are so happy we decided to replace our siding instead of attempting to repair the rubbish we had. Our home looks awesome! We love it, our neighbors love it! We highly recommend the Align Construction crew for any of your needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
