"They were on time. Very friendly and professional. There were problems with some of the materials in the kit and they had to fix some of them to put it together. They were here for over 8 hours, didn't even break for lunch. Even though they were here longer than expected they didn't change more than they had estimate.They did a great job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing work done"

"Brendon replaced my kitchen subfloors and put a new linoleum, full trim all the way around, a bathroom bifold, and even put a special touch to the trim, so I'd think of my late farther who had worked in that same kitchen many moons ago. Brendon had some challenges with old school techniques, but worked long and hard to end with flooring, trim and doorway that was beautiful and I was pleased with the outcome."

"Casabella Home Improvement did an amazing job with our deck and front steps. Flavio is very responsive, thorough, and professional. He ensured everything was cleaned up after the job and even offered to bring a couple of extra items to the dump for us. We are very happy and would definitely work with him again!"

"Dizzle Pro absolutely crushed our deck build. From the very beginning, his responsiveness was unmatched—quick replies, clear timelines, and constant communication throughout the entire process. You always knew exactly what was going on, which is rare these days. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. The attention to detail and overall quality is top-tier, and it’s obvious he takes a lot of pride in his work. Everything was done right the first time, and the finished product exceeded expectations. If you’re in Southern Maine and looking for someone reliable, professional, and truly the best at what they do, Dizzle Pro is the guy. Highly recommend."

"Costas and his team did a wonderful job on my Aunt's home. What started off as a deck repair, turned into so much more (siding, windows, new 1/2 bath). The house had been in a bit of disrepair and he was very thoughtful and thorough in his approach to bringing it back to life. My family and I will enjoy it for many years to come, and I truly appreciate some of the little things he did along the way to ensure everything was done right. He took the initiative to select things when I was not able to be there. It felt very much like he was treating as if it were his own home. His attention to detail was terrific, and he was super responsive. THANK YOU again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Enhances property value, ensures safety, and provides a sound basis for future construction.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
