"Perfect, excellent quality paint job. Perfect line where accent wall meets connecting textured walls, timely - Ryan takes pride in his work. They will refinish my deck this year, they did it 5 years ago and I am amazed at how well their job/deck stain lasted. Highly recommend them for paint or decks"

"I am so glad I â foundâ Dick for my bathroom project. He contacted me the very same day I filled out a questionnaire on Home Advisor. I had received other quotes for my project, but I felt Dickâ s quote was very fair. The project was completed in the time frame he had given me looks great! They were respectful of my home, and cleaned up after each days work. He communicated well and I never had a problem contacting him with questions or even having to reschedule an appointment to discuss some details. He was very willing to â work with meâ . Dick is a very fair and honest contractor. I would not hesitate to hire him again. ð"

"It was a pleasure getting to work with Pedro and Sayagos Home Improvement. Pedro came out at the drop of a hat to help us with some siding that had blown off/ had some buckling in it. Pedro was very professional and got the job done in a timely fashion while also giving me some pointers on how to repair it myself if something ever occurs like it did again in the future. Pedro was very knowledgeable and professional and his pricing was very competitive for the work that was conducted. I would highly recommend Sayagos for anyone looking for work to be done/ installs for roofs, siding or gutters."

"The team of Jesse and Joe that did the install were great. The project took longer than expected but they stuck with it and replaced a side exterior door in my home. Door looks great and no longer sticks. They guys are rock stars!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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.

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
