"Needed a basement remodel. After conducting a significant amount of due diligence, several estimates and interviews I/we selected Affinity Construction. I make every attempt to spend my money locally as Affinity is locally owned.The owner Justin in my opinion was the one that was honest and Frank with regard to cost estimates that fit my needs. As the job got underway Justin was welcoming about any changes that I had. His employees, Mike and crew were attentive and responsive to my requirements during the build and offered good suggestions/alternatives to my ideas. Thanks guys!! I recommend this company to all for your construction/remodel needs. I will be hiring them again as I continue to remodel my home before I retire. Thanks again Justin"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

While it is possible to build a wooden carport yourself, especially if you are skilled in carpentry, professional construction is recommended. Professionals ensure structural integrity, proper anchoring, correct alignment, and the use of quality materials for a stable and durable result.
