"Nick is a very reliable guy, he scheduled the installation of our interior doors in advance and the job was done without any delays. He did a great job installing our interior doors in our condo. His price was very reasonable with very high quality. I was so happy with him and the job he did, that I called him again to install our baseboards and base shoes, and he did a great job as well. I will call him if I ever need any kind of carpentry work again. I highly recommend Nick."

"Provider was able to schedule quickly and complete the work within a week. The main reason I went with them was the price, but he was professional and completed the agreed upon work with no issues. I had planned do and did most of the finishing and final work, but saved a lot of time and added very minimal cost to my project by having the framing, drywall, mud, electrical and hvac completed."

Small jobs welcome

"Ross picked up where the last contractor left me with the worst craftsmanship and unfinished work. Ross was timely, precise, and actually took pride in his work. I was very surprised with his work. My previous contractor cut my door frames off and Ross fixed them to look normal, you'd would never know they were cut off. I would recommend him to get the job done right and timely with integrity."

"Both Dave and Danny provided exceptional service during this project. They made sure that the door was installed with upgraded and weather proof framing. To complete this work they also installed a modernized deadbolt lock and connected the door to existing security systems. We couldn't be happier with the services rendered."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between $100 to $200 per square foot, which is comparable to the cost of a traditional home. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
