"We recently completed a full kitchen remodel, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and surprisingly stress-free. Kobie was punctual, respectful of our home, and incredibly detail-oriented. He was able to lend his expertise while we were configuring a layout that maximized both space and functionality, and the finished product is stunning—modern, bright, and everything we hoped for. Everything turned out top-notch, and the workmanship is flawless. What really stood out was the communication. We were kept in the loop every step of the way, and any questions or changes were addressed quickly and professionally. The project was finished on time and within budget, which is almost unheard of these days. If you’re considering a kitchen remodel, we can’t recommend him highly enough. Our new kitchen is now the heart of our home, and we genuinely love spending time in it every day!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

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.

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.
