"Both jobs were unusual. First was in a plaster and lathe ceiling. Second was on a very tall chimney. These craftsmen are great. I have tight scheduling and when you make an appointment, you make an appointment. I was really nervous about how much they charge (why I started with a small job ;-]). Don't be. Give them a try."

"The estimate for the cost of the project was accurate. The demolition phase was quick and the clean up was thorough. The project was completed early and the workmanship was excellent. I would definitely use this pro again and can give him my highest recommendation!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Before my wife and I chose Michael (Post Construction), four other local and reputable contractors bid for a complete basement finish.  Everything from framing, electrical, plumbing, painting, tiling, and flooring.  Each contractor had to be insured and licensed to build in the county we live in as well as handle all proper permits.   Although Michael’s bid was reasonable in comparison, what impressed us the most during the walkthrough interview was that he had the right set of knowledge and skillset that gave us a sense of comfort and trust.  Before hiring Michael, we also confirmed references from other contractors who highly recommended his work. Each stage of construction was scheduled and managed well especially when issues needed to be addressed.  For instance, when the tile supplier originally supplied the wrong colored tile for the bathroom,  Michael’s team quickly resolved the issue with the supplier to order and deliver the correct tile and rescheduled the tile work all of which was completed in less than a week. His 27 years of professional experience was demonstrated well especially in some of the smallest details.  For example, knowing to apply an extra measure of caulking behind the trim and crown molding to prevent rope lighting from penetrating through the seams.  He provided plenty of helpful suggestions to improve aesthetics such as covering the electrical panel with a custom-made door to match the trim. We are certainly very pleased with the results and the decision to go with Post Construction.  We have additional long-term remodeling ideas in the future that we will definitely consider re-hiring Post Construction to perform the work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.
