"Mark, and the other members of Carpenter's Kids exceeded every expectation. Ours was a complicated remodel that involved everything from installing new and moving old plumbing, tile work, new electric, moving a wall 2ft, to detail work. Carpenter's kids made short work of the entire project. They were 1 day over in their estimate, but they came MEMORIAL DAY to finish and were still ~2 weeks faster than all other quotes. The quality is impeccable, and the price more than fair. Whomever said you can have it fast, good, or cheap but you have to pick 2 out of 3 didn't know Mark, and his boys. We've already asked for 3 new estimates."

"Kyle responded quickly to my request for an estimate. I sent a picture of what we needed fixed. He gave me a reasonable quote and came out the same day and got it done. He repaired a section of vinyl siding that had come loose and ripped off in a storm. He fixed that and then proactively repaired and reinforced some other areas that were likely to come loose down the road. Great work."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Yes, professional installations include reinforced corner posts to ensure durability.
