"The crew at Schwartz Solutions are awesome to work with. Nathan understood my project and the tear down was done in just hours and the build was done within the week. You will be glad you called them. Very professional, with excellent skills. I even got an outdoor butcher block. I will hire them again for my next carpentry job. Great work!!! Can't say it enough."

"Clifton "Ricky" repaired the drywall where my father had a wheelchair and damaged the corners of the doorways. Ricky then painted all the walls, ceilings and trim. We had carpet being layer so he only had 6 days to complete it. Then when the carpet was laid the carpet layers damaged the new paint on trim and Ricky came in with no extra charge and repainted the trim the other workers damaged. He was not only more reasonable then the other quotes, but we have already called him to do some plumbing repair."

"There are not enough stars for us to rate Michele and her crew. Michele worked hard to satisfy our urgency for a portion of our job. Her crew then worked hard to finish the entire painting job in short order. Cici, Travis and Ecky were extremely proficient. Michele stopped by each day to be sure we were happy at each step. We will highly recommend Color Solutions &Design to all who ask for recommendations. Our home looks lovely Thanks, The Mayberry’s"

"Dave, Mason, and their crew were truly outstanding to work with. We completely remodeled our first floor, including the kitchen and two bathrooms. The job took a couple months and required working closely with other contractors we had hired. They were very professional and easy to work with for all involved. Communication was excellent and the workmanship was top-notch. We hired them for another smaller job this summer. We are looking forward to working with D & M Home Improvement again!"

"We couldn't be happier with the porch Devon built for us. From the initial design phase to the final nail, the attention to detail was incredible. He didn't just build a deck; he created a seamless extension of our home. He was professional, kept the job site clean every day, and actually finished right on time. If you want high-quality craftsmanship and an stress-free experience, hire Devon."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

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.

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.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.
