"I contacted Home Advisor on a Friday afternoon a few days before Xmas, looking for help assembling furniture that had arrived in boxes. I received a call within minutes from Ask Michael. A couple other similar local businesses contacted me, as well, but not as quickly. Nor did the other businesses say they could complete the task yet that day/evening as Ask Michael promised to do. Indeed, two young men from Ask Michael arrived roughly 2 hours after my initial request and adeptly assembled a couch and a queen size bed in less than 30 minutes. Super nice, polite, professional guys. Will most definitely turn to Ask Michael in the Springfield area or Home Advisor in the Chicago area in the future!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

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

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.
