"Michelle did a great job with double checking all the specs for the material order and helping me select a color for the pre-stained interior doors and mouldings to blend the old with the new of our remodel project, and Justin did a fantastic job on the install. In addition to installing the doors and hardware, every door has a stop! Great attention to detail, ownership of their work, and generous with their time!"

"The worker, Vlad, was here on time. He was very polite and very competent at what we wanted done. He is a very good carpenter! Work was done efficiently and was cleaned up when he was finished. I would not hesitate to hire Handy Rite again!"

Customers say: True professional

"I would recommend him to anyone considering a remodeling project of any size. He was very responsive from the first phone call, listened well to our wants and needs and made several creative suggestions to help us. He gave us a very detailed proposal and kept us informed each step of the way throughout the project. He stayed on task, came when he said he would come, did more than we even expected from him and he was kind, neat and trustworthy. We will definitely use him again."

"After costing out new cabinets vs new doors and drawers to facelift our 10 year old kitchen, we decided new doors and drawers would achieve the look we desired. Dmitry was fantastic- he came out and measured every single one, built and installed them himself. We went from a sea of golden oak, outdated cabinets, to beautiful, white shaker style fronts. He uses commercial grade paint and sprayed them all in his shop with the color we selected - perfection. We have received so many compliments since our project wrapped up. I look forward to hiring Dmitry to build some mud room lockers/storage for us when we are ready to tackle that project! Thanks Dmitry!"

"This was the second project that I have hired TCH to do. It's so nice to be able to hire one contractor and have the same people do all of the work (plumbing, carpentry, tile work, etc.,) instead of having to hire a different company for each part of the project, or have a company sub out the work. TCH has the best personnel, always punctual and very cooperative. Regularly checking with me to be sure the job gets done the way I expected. They were very careful to protect all areas from dust and debris and made an exceptional effort to clean up at the end of each day and when the job was completed. I also think the price was reasonable. Thanks go out to both Cory's for all of their hard work. Another expert job by TCH."

"Ben was really helpful in preparing my new office to move in. From painting and assembling furniture to building a kitchenette, his work was excellent. He was easy to work with and responsive. He communicated and was available. I appreciated his work and will continue to use him as necessary."

"We hired Outdoor Aesthetix to help install a patio in our back yard. They were knowledgeable, informative, kind and easy to work with from our first meeting. Jamin helped us through the process of the design and the following steps in detail which helped put us at ease working with another contractor, as we’ve had previous bad experiences. We couldn’t have asked for a better result! The patio is amazing and the process was smooth. The attention to detail is outstanding! We’ve recommended Outdoor Aesthetix to everyone we know and will continue to recommend them. 10 star customer service and workmanship!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

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.

Installing an ornamental or decorative porch column takes around three to five hours. Structural columns take longer because your pro has to install a jack to hold up the roof while switching the column out. If there's any structural damage, it can add several days to the timeline to repair the damage.
