I've been a carpenter for about 3 years now. I am a solo operator who is also part-time at the moment. Looking to grow my business and eventually take my passion full-time. I can do something simple like trim work, or something more exciting like a bathroom/kitchen remodel. Maybe you want to turn your unfinished basement into a useful space! My goal is to help you live in the home you've always wanted to live in. Or if you're planning to sell, updating the home gives you more equity! Give me a call!

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
