"The wood that OnCenter used for my Pergola was defective and they refuse to stand behind their warranty. They tell me that If Menards will not warranty their wood, then how can they. I think it is terrible that I paid $6400 to have a nice pergola on my back patio and I am left with cracked, defective wood. I was told that OnCenter would only replace a portion of the pergola (they could not deny how bad this wood was; but they refuse to replace the entire thing. It is the entire pergola that has the same wood and all of that wood is cracking badly. It will not do me any good to have half of the pergola replaced, only to have the other half keep cracking and be a different color. I tried to explain this to Sam Cox, owner of OnCenter, and he told me that; he cannot control how wood ages; For the money I paid, I really think I should enjoy my pergola and be able to look at it and have my visitors look at it without being ashamed of how unsightly it is. I have a nice house and wanted a nice pergola. I feel I will now need legal representation and have to reach out to Menards corporate office myself. I will have to do the fight that OnCenter should be doing. Terrible"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
