"I recently had a beautiful grey and white playhouse built by Crafty Carpentry, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the result! The craftsmanship is top-notch, with a sturdy slide that has quickly become a favorite for the kids. The interior is surprisingly spacious, offering plenty of room for play and imagination. The design is both modern and charming, making it a perfect addition to our backyard. Throughout the project, communication was excellent, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Crafty Carpentry for anyone looking for quality, creativity, and great value in their woodworking projects!"

"Sticking point was miscommunication during sales. onsite guy said they didn't replace fence boards. Later HQ called to find out why I hadn't moved ahead. I had already selected another provider who could do all three. HQ said they could have done. Their loss. Loved the guys I ended up using."

"Geo and his friendly, skilled and hard working crew were fantastic! They framed a large 44+ by 31 inch roof egress window that was quite heavy. They did an excellent job framing to specifications, and expertly installed the roof window. They ensured matching roof shingles and got the job done within 2 days. They left the place very clean and charged very reasonable price. Would hire them again!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

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.

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.

Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
