"Jeff was very receptive and tuned in with the ideas we had in mind. He was straightforward with the possibilities and the limitations of the options we had for project. The project started pretty much right on schedule around mid July. Any few obstacles the project had regarding materials, regulations, or schedules, were promptly addressed to our satisfaction. Within three and a half weeks construction was completed. I was not expecting these guys to build things so quickly. It was a pleasure to have Jeff, Shane, and Jake. They were all professional, yet friendly. The very few things we had noticed during construction that required fixing they addressed to our satisfaction without hesitation. Their craft is top-notch. As a bonus you get a wonderful team of fun, friendly individuals doing everything possible to make your outdoor living dream space a reality. Thank you for the dedication, care, and expertise you put towards our project."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you’ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
