"Had them do a deck makeover. The framing was still good and Matt was honest about it not needing replaced compared to another company I received a bid from. He broke down all the possible scenarios of cost, longevity, and just what needed done to be solid build. Small company and he took his time to do things right. He didn't cut corners. Great service and work."

"If you need something assembled you can't go wrong with this professional. I am very cautious about who I hire that has to come to my home for safety reasons. This gentleman was extremely polite, Professional, and quick and efficient. He gave the best estimate hands down, he responded to my request right away and my tables were assembled the very next day, he gave white glove service at an extremely reasonable price. I will not hesitate to use his services in the future."

Hello, I am a recently retired educator and coach. I learned building trades from my father as a child and worked with him in construction for 8 years building houses from the ground up including plumbing, wiring, concrete, cabinetry, etc. from framing to finish. I have completed my own additions, remodeling, and repairs for the last 30 years. I'm a detail oriented perfectionist that enjoys working with my hands and providing a quality, reasonably priced service.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
