"Our home was 25 years old with a large kitchen that really needed an update. We knew this was going to be an expensive remodel and I cautiously moved forward with securing bids. We interviewed several contractors, and I prepared an Excel spreadsheet after each interview and submitted bid. Several factors went into my decision, and one was how comfortable was I with the person with whom I was interacting. Chad Stock was the only one of the bidders that owned the company, prepared the bid and was going to be on site managing and working on the project. There would be no confusion about what was said and promised. And there never was. Chad and his crew did excellent work with high quality material. Everything that was promised was delivered, and on schedule. I was very happy, and more importantly, so was my wife."

"Chad and Scott did a fantastic job, from concept to completion of our project. We needed an interior wall, framing, door, drywall, texture, & painting, & all the details to enclose our kitchen from our entry. They understood our concept, and had the work done from start to finish in 2 weeks. Meticulous, detail-oriented, polite, & fun to have them here in our home are how we would describe our relationship with Chad & Scott. They even let us keep adding other small projects along with the wall construction, always being cheerful & accommodating. We would definitely recommend them to our friends & neighbors for any projects! Susan & Larry"

"Mahoney Construction was hired to build a new porch that extended from an existing shop. The quality of the work made the addition appear to be part of the original build. Shawn is professional and easy to work with. He is also reasonably priced, which is rare in this valley. I highly recommend Mahoney Construction for any work you need."

"The guys were great. They were able to finish all of the tasks and a few more. Their pricing was fair and communication was very good. I was out of town while most of the tasks were done. If something came up they reached out and they had a solution. We are planning a bath remodel and they have already submitted a drawing. Their work is great and they’re easy to work with! When was the last time you said that about a contractor? Strongly recommend"

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.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.
