"I am so disappointed with this company . They called and set up an appointment two weeks out on a Sunday at 3 pm to put a vanity together for me. He picked the time saying he had to go to church so 3 pm was when he could come. He called me at 11:15 am that day wanted to come right then . When I told him no one would be home he cancelled the job . So frustrating after waiting two weeks . Please pick someone else for your jobs ."

"Problem was shower floor leaked into basement. Wanted new shower tile and floor to fix leak, new sink, and new lights. Working schedule was sporadic. Some days someone would show, others not. Days/weeks went by with no work. He asked to work Saturdays which I allowed. Once payments of the "weekly progress invoices" totaled near the project total he packed tools and left with tile not grouted and doors not installed, and didn't return until threatened with being sued. Still didn't finish tile grouting or the doors. Damaged ceiling carrying in materials. By project end I did not trust him in my home. Less than year later shower floor is leaking into basement just as before. Working with Brian was a frustrating, annoying, expensive waste of time and money."

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.
