"I had Chad replace three entry doors in my house. Each door had its own challenges, including gaps between the door and frame and a wall that was not plumb. Chad was able to evaluate each of the issues and come up with a solution. In the end, I have three secure doors in my house. I highly recommend Chad and his workmanship."

"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.

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
