"Jeff and his crews delivered on time and on budget. I was advised each day of the activities that were going to take place the following day. All workers were pleasant and responsive to any needs. Each day prior to leaving the job site everything was cleaned up, equipment and materials stored neatly, and any trash removed. The quality and craftsmanship were excellent."

"My project had a few unique things and they did a great job with them. Rick and Pat were very professional, friendly, and well experienced at all facets of the work. Rick always kept me informed of the status of things and when they'd be working at my house. I plan to hire them back soon to do some additional work for me."

"Went wonderful with the contractor. They were great to work with and helped us navigate a very troublesome insurance company. They drove from northern Virginia to silver spring to do the work as well, not any easy task and a long commute in traffic. They were just great."

"Kerwin is an absolute professional. Communicates on when arriving to complete a task, estimate timeline is always helpful. He's very responsive to my questions, and very knowledgeable. Very well rounded and an expert. He earned our trust to make the best decision for how some tasks needed to be done. His finished product is quality. Kerwin assembled our son's bed, a major closet, TV stands, an office desk, a book shelf and TV mounts. He handled all the fixing and repairs to our house to get it in proper shape to sell. We enjoy working with Kerwin, trust his expertise and work. He is our absolute go-to guy. We referred several family members to him and would 100% recommend him to anyone else."

"Our experience with Hugo Carpet Services was fantastic. After speaking with David on the phone, they came out the next day to look at the work that needed to be done and give us an estimate. We received our estimate the next day and they started the work 2 days later. They're extremely professional and punctual. We are extremely happy with the work and will be hiring them for future projects."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.
