"Phillip and his team did excellent work at a reasonable price. We had damaged siding replaced and the whole 2-story house painted. More siding needed to be replaced than was initially expected, but the original estimate was honored. I did not feel like there were any corners cut, and all of the workers were very neat and respectful of the space. I would definitely work with Phillip and his team again."

"We couldn?t be happier with the custom TV unit Lawrence built for us! He designed and crafted beautiful cypress cabinets and floating shelves that completely transformed our living space. The electric fireplace adds a cozy, modern touch, and the extra hidden storage is genius?perfect for keeping things organized without clutter. Lawrence was professional, detail-oriented, and knew exactly how to bring our vision to life. The quality of his work is outstanding, and he finished everything on time. Highly recommend him for any custom carpentry project!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

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.
