Customers say: Quick response

"We needed to complete our bathroom renovation and we were over our heads. I put out inquiries for help and before I had a chance to respond, this young man called Me to take a look at the job. I was stunned. I had called other "Professionals" who wouldn't give me the time of day. Ryan arrived the same day. Said he could do the work and what it would cost and when he could start. I was impressed when the team arrived early, assessed what needed to be done and jumped right in. To say that we were pleased with the results would be a gross understatement. We were ecstatic. The laminate floor was a sight to behold. A new functioning toilet sat proudly. A new door was installed, with knob. And, it was completed in half of the time stated. These young men are knowledgeable, hard working and extremely polite. I have no doubt that their professionalism is worth twice the cost. We wish them well and have already shared our good fortune with neighbors."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.
