"It went great and turned out better than we had hoped. Brawny Builders exceeded our expectations. We will definitely recommend them and use them again. Like Bronson, John and Marty say, "we know construction" and they do. Gary from Niles"

"These guys are true pros. They turn up on time and get a lot accomplished each day. I ve been recommending them to friends and we are hiring them for additional jobs. They handled tricky tasks for us replacing old baseboards that involved piecing things together and cutting them down to size; putting in a frame and door for a new opening that had been enlarged. Doug is an amazing worker!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.

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.
