"I had two drywall issues, one was with the living room ceiling caused by a roof leak, and the other with my garage ceiling caused by me stepping through it from the attic (doh!). I was contacted by Mark, the owner of M&K Homes, after going through Home Advisor. Mark's bid was not the cheapest of the contractors that contacted me, but he was the most personable and sold me on why paying a little more for his company would be worth it. This was a two day job. Day one was doing the repair and day two was texture and finishing. Both ceilings were originally finished with a "knock down" texture. Mark communicated with me every step of the way, so I knew what to expect and when to expect him. He showed up right on time both days. Mark was very careful to cover everything with drop cloths and plastic curtains to keep the dust off of my furniture. He was very professional right down to giving me a written estimate and how he handled himself throughout the process. The repair and texturing came out perfect! If you need work done and want it done right by a professional that does what he says he is going to do, then you need to call or hire M&K Homes!"

Customers say: True professional

"Nathan and the team were fantastic to work with. We had a somewhat unique project building stairs down our hill to the river, so we needed someone who had experience with non-traditional builds. The entire Schwartz team was extremely helpful from start to finish. Nathan helped design the stairs, with our input, and went through all of the appropriate channels for inspections and DNR. While the build was in progress, the whole team was considerate and friendly, and we were updated on the progress and discussed options as the stairs took shape. The craftsmanship is topnotch, and you can tell they know what they are doing. They even finished up our fence that had to be cut through to reach the stairs. The end product is beautiful, and I cant recommend Schwartz Solutions enough."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.
