"Chad was very professional and such a breath of fresh air to work with. Communication was superb. He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with his work and it was exactly what we wanted. We hired him to complete an accent wall. We wanted a board and batten with additional trim work to match other decorative moulding in our home so required making sure styles of moulding etc were cohesive as possible. He took the time to show us different ideas and possibilities for the area we were working on. Started the work exactly when we requested and completed the job very timely. Respectful of our home and when working out schedules. He kept the areas he was using clean and picked up while working and when the job was completed. We have other trim work we are going to be completing in our home and will use Chad again. His BID and final cost for project very fair and well priced."

"My floors were damaged during a different remodeling project and Pros Flooring LLC was hired by the contractor. Jennifer met with me and provided a quote. She knew her stuff and she took time to explain the process to me. The crew cam out o a weekend to complete the work and did a fantastic job. They were even able to match the flooring perfectly to the rest of the house. Jennifer stopped by to make sure everything was going smoothly and I couldn't be happier with the result. If you are looking for quality work and attention to detail, HIRE THESE GUYS!"

"Rick was fantastic. I called him late afternoon for a dryer repair that I've been putting off for a while I didnt need it fixed immediately and I was going out of town for the weekend. He didtn know that though, and I could tell by our conversation he would've came over as soon as he could. We set up a time for 5:00pm on the next monday, and he actually showed up 30 minutes early. He gave me a fair price and the dryer works just like new. I would definitely hire him again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.
