"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."

"I was very impressed with the work Precision Framing did. I hired them for a full kitchen remodel. They showed up when they said the would. They kept me in the loop on everything, and they were very responsive to all of my questions or concerns. They were also very helpful in pointing me in the right direction when it came to buying the right materials for my project. All the work was done in a timely manner. I plan on hiring them again for future projects. I'm attaching before during and after pictures."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a variety of second-story deck privacy ideas depending on your budget and aesthetic. For starters, you might consider fencing or tall privacy railing that masks a good portion of the open deck. A pergola or an awning can provide additional cover and shade. Outdoor curtains are an easy way to add or remove privacy at your convenience, plus they’re a wallet-friendly way to decorate your deck.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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