"Ray is a consummate professional. He has excellent project management skills and a team of skilled workers that completed the project on time and in budget. I met with Ray and he gave me an estimate to build a stamped concrete patio and firepit around my existing pool. This required extensive shrub and tree removal next to the pool. The project started and finished on time within the discussed budget. The work looks sensational and all our neighbors have tried to recruit Ray for their own projects. Unlike most building contractors, Ray does not kill you with minor change control issues and cost increases, he just gets the project done at the highest level of quality. While Ray was on site, he diagnosed a flooded basement issue and I extended the project to fix the problem. Ray has taken a basement that was regularly under water to be totally dry. I trust Ray and his workers completely. If you want an honest qualified builder who meets his commitments and exceeds expectations look no further."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

Installing a tongue-and-groove wall requires similar techniques to those associated with installing shiplap. However, because of the precision necessary to make each board fit perfectly and the increased material prices, the cost is higher than that of shiplap installations. Expect to spend between $2 and $6 more per square foot for tongue-and-groove walls versus shiplap ones.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
