"Doug is excellent to work with. He brought my vision for the fireplace/living room remodel to life through his expert carpentry and design consultation. Great communication throughout the life of the project and he kept an excellent eye on the budget, even suggesting some changes with materials and other items that would save money without impacting the look and quality."

"I was totally unfamiliar with the particulars of a project like this and Justin was fantastic in educating me. He patiently answered my questions and always gave me multiple options. The crew members he assigned to my project Mike, Brian, and Andy were true craftsmen. They were never satisfied just doing a good job but were attempting to achieve perfection every step of the way. Like Justin, each of the guys because a friend with the patience and true concern they showed in making sure my project was completed to the highest standards. I could not be happier. If anyone I know or meet mentions needing a contractor, Affinity will be the first and last word out of my mouth. Thanks guys. Ed"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Yes, using certified lumber and engineered wood products for reduced environmental impact.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.
