"Extremely Happy with the job Stonebrook Building Services completed. The outside of the house looks great and my neighbors always compliment the workmanship. My bathrooms also turned out beautiful! I never could have made the design decisions without the help of John and his team. Ceramic work is precise and beautiful."

"Can't say enough about how much we love the landscaping they put in for us. Austin did an amazing design plan for us with the perfect plants. We asked for low maintenance and he provided just that with a beautiful selection of plants. The crew is outstanding, very accommodating and professional. They continually asked our opinion wanting to be sure we were happy. I can say that of 3 contractors we contacted, Austin was the only one that "heard" what we were asking for. His price was right in the ballpark as well. Overall we are ecstatic with the results. Our neighbors are commenting how stunning it looks! We definately recommend Moccia Lawn and Landscaping!"

"Jim and his crew have done a great job on redoing my large paver patio. It required a lot of pulling out of old pavers, releveling the ground and a lot of other issues, but they were all over come and I have a beautiful new patio."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
