"First let me say, they were not the least expensive contractor I talked to. They were one of the three that called back after initial Angi's list contact. They are the ones I felt most comfortable with hiring. A few bumps and oopsies at the start, between getting materials and scheduling but nothing approaching deal breaking. In their defense, I am NAVY trained, and if you say start time is 8AM, I give you a 15 minute window either side of that to be ON STATION READY FOR CALL FOR FIRE. To early is disrespectful, and there is no such thing as "fashionably late" The work it self once started was fantastic. All of them did their best to keep noise and dust to a minimum, and came in did the job and left. I will speak directly about some of the crew that worked on my projects. The crew leader was a gentleman named Ivan. He has one man on his crew named Jose, who did all the inside work. EXTREMELY pleased with Jose's work. Either thru a miss understanding, or a realization of what looked professional, my stair rails are much better than originally planned, because he placed baluster shoes on both the top and bottom of each baluster instead of just the bottom as planned. This gentleman is meticulous in his work, and is also very proud of the work he does, and it SHOWS. If you contract with Requin, ask for Ivan and his crew for your job and then ask Ivan for Jose. (Ivan you need to give him a raise!) So today May 4, they will be over to hopefully finish a few small remaining items. If the rain holds off. I would definitely contract with REQUIN again, and am in fact already considering a couple future projects. Probably won't even worry about a bidding process."

"It went excellently smooth and well. The fence in the driveway was not standing 100% upright as it was wobbly and in its last leg to collapse. The fence is actually belonging to my next door neighbor, but since my car has a self remote parking stuff where it can move forward and a backwards by itself, so with the fence not being upright in the driveway for my car to identify via its sensors, it would often not move backwards or else for me at all. So, I gave in, and hired this nice and friendly gentleman off from on a Angi app. He was able to replace two posts in the next doors yard;s fence to get it back to upright 100%. My car now can finally go forward or in reverse by itself efficiently at last! Thanks! I give this pro a five stars!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.
