"I recently hired Masters Interior Carpentry to redo the flooring in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and extremely skilled. They helped me choose the perfect flooring that matched my style and needs, and the installation process was smooth and efficient. The craftsmanship is outstanding – the floors look absolutely stunning and have transformed the entire space! They were also very respectful of my home, leaving everything clean and tidy at the end of each day. I highly recommend Masters Interior Carpentry to anyone looking for quality carpentry work done right. Five stars all the way!"

"Doug and his team were great! We needed our deck rebuilt and reinforced for our hot tub. They build a deck sturdy enough for several hot tubs!! Doug came out quickly and gave us a very reasonable quote and was back out two days later to start the job. I wouldn't hesitate to call Doug for any home improvement project."

"We are very pleased with the work ethics of this company. Our deck had a two board step around three sides and we wanted to widen it by one board. Finished step has perfectly mitered corners, looks much better than the original step and is much safer. Would rate this company 10 stars if available. Will definitely refer my friends and family."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.
