"I am extremely pleased with my experience with Mr. Flynn. He was very professional came out and gave me an estimate. Double checked his estimate. Brought all the supplies tore down the old fence and posts, dug them up, put in new posts, concreting them in. Hand built the entire fence. Very good job. Excellent employee work with him. Got the job done in one day disposed of the old fence and post careful about my yard and other people’s yards that were adjacent to mine. Let me know whenever he was coming or being late. It was an awesome experience. I would highly recommend him and his company, Audubon fence and deck. I will be calling him back to do additional updates such as my gate and another section of fencing at a later time."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.

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.

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.
