"He did an excellent job fixing our wobbly bannister rail. His price was very reasonable and he showed up on time as scheduled. Based on the quality of his work and demonstrated professionalism I hired him for additional outside trim repair work which he also did an excellent job on. I would highly recommend Brad Stephenson for any home carpentry related projects."

"I cannot give enough kudos to the Conrad Homes crew. Mike West, John and Brian did a thoroughly professional job finishing part of our unfinished basement. The work is well done and finished very nicely; they were efficient and friendly. Work included framing, drywall, trim, suspended ceiling and painting, plus installation of several electrical outlets and ceiling fixtures."

"Steven and his crew did an awesome job replacing an existing deck and built a new and larger one. Steven is very professional and gets back to you right away with any questions or concerns that you may have. The job was done in the time frame he projected and the price came out as quoted. He also did some stump grinding for me as well. I would highly recommend them!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
