"Matt & KJ really exceeded all expectations when it came to our bathroom remodel. They cleaned up after themselves, arrived at the time they said they would and they even drove an hour out of the way to get us a new vanity and shower because it was damaged in shipping. It was our first time hiring out a job & we had a great first experience! Weâ ll be calling them for any future projects!"

"Jeremiah is the owner of Anchored Solutions. When he says he will be there you can take his word. He redid our deck in composite (10x14) and put up a wooden awning on the same size on our other deck. I am amazed at the detail of his work and how talented this young man is. I would recommend Anchored Solutions to do your project anytime."

"I love it! Framing and hanging sliding doors that separated kitchen from living room. This is a project that I have wanted to do for a long time and finally got it completed. I own a manufactured home (or as it is called now a mobile home). These homes usually have unique openings and require customized or special orders. John was extremely helpful and brought my vision of what I wanted into reality. He also provided some suggestions which proved to be extremely beneficial. He was quick and efficient with his work. John framed the space from floor to ceiling. John did framing, molding and trim, dry wall (in the space above the doors on both sides), sanded and painted. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend this service."

Not only did they do an amazing job and keep us updated throughout the entire job at the end of the job after we paid our bill they gave us a personalized gift basket which Iâ ve never gotten from a company Iâ ve hired before. It was really cool and let me know they actually care about there customers. We will be using them again on any and all projects we need done!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
