20+ yrs experience. Professional, quiet, clean, and affordable on all jobs. I have the manpower and equipment for all residential and commercial jobs. Indoor, outdoor, lawns, landscape, gutters, paint, wash houses/decks, paint inside and outside, Install, remove, you name it

"I couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding job Ragstar Contractors did assembling our Gazebo. Despite the subpar instructions and the overwhelming number of parts, their team showed incredible patience, professionalism, and craftsmanship. They were able to piece everything together flawlessly, and the final result looks absolutely amazing. Their attention to detail and commitment to getting the job done right truly set them apart. I highly recommend Ragstar Contractors for any assembly or installation projects — they exceeded all expectations!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
