"Wheeler Fine Carpentry has completed many projects for me over the last 8 years. The first project that I hired Wheeler Fine Carpentry for was a bathroom remodel. It turned out gorgeous. The professionalism was excellent. Every detail was considered and done to perfection. Darin cared that I was truly satisfied and I was delighted. Each project he has undertaken in the last 8 years has been completed with this same result. Darin is creative, skilled, and figures out economical ways when possible to complete a project. Darin is wonderful to work with--skilled, honest, reliable and always works with an eye for perfection. I know you will be satisfied and proud of any project he does for you!"

"I recently purchased a warehouse and needed to upgrade my lighting to LED. The team came out to do a free audit and provided me with a proposal promptly. Within a few weeks, the team was able to install all new fixtures while my team could still be productive during working hours. The warehouse is brighter than I can ever imagine and I am glad Arnolds Construction was able to help."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
