"I had a great experience with Matt once we got started late because of the pandemic. I've lived in my first house for 18 years and have always wanted to put a deck in the front. The back door frame had rotted out so here was my excuse to do some fun stuff. I met two other builders. One was an old curmudgen and the other was a young kid that didn't seem to care about appearance. Then i met Matt. 34 yr. old and professional looking. I told him about the back door and said not a problem. Then I told him my ideas for the deck which turned into a beautiful screened in 8x10 porch. I had my ideas and told me what he had done in the past. The project was not "set in concrete" so to speak. We both had ideas and my vision came out through his work. It could not have come out any better. I would highly recommend Matt for any project you can think of. Once we got started it was done quickly. His work was simple yet elegant. Perfect job. Thanks Matt. '"

"Mike did a teriffic job on a dropped ceiling in our basement. He worked with us to figure out how to cover various plumbing while keeping max ceiling height and a nice appearance. He built a soffit and installed lighting. We are very happy with the results and recommend Mike highly."

"Miguel totally impressed me with his finish carpentry work. Took his time to make sure every detail was perfect!! He showed up on time and cleaned up his work area better than it was before he started. My 1st time using MD Remodeling, but definitely will be hiring him again to do more projects in my fixer upper house."

"Kye and the team at KBBuilders transformed my old deck into a beautiful new one that looks absolutely gorgeous! From start to finish, communication was excellent, the price was very fair, they arrived on time, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the results and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommended!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

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.
