"Deck Builder of America did a great job on my deck! We wanted something that would blend nicely with our new siding and Cameron was great in helping us to make the decisions on what decking and railings would match nicely. The work was done timely and is of great quality. We are very pleased and would hire again. "

"If you need crown molding, I wholeheartedly recommend Joel. Our kitchen has tall ceilings and tricky angles, but Joel handled it all with precision and ease. He called ahead, arrived on time, and treated the project—and us—with respect, professionalism, and kindness. Nothing fazed him. He assessed the space, gave us a clear quote, and said it would take 2–3 days. I provided the molding, and he even took it home to stain. Within the week, the job was beautifully done. The results are stunning—clean, elegant, and exactly what we hoped for. We’re already dreaming up more projects for him!"

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.

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

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.

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.
