Q: What is the average cost of framing a window opening?

• <div><p>The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you&rsquo;ll pay for materials plus labor costs&mdash;anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-material-types.htm">type of window framing material</a>.</p></div>

Q: Do brick houses have framing?

• <div><p>Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don&rsquo;t have traditional framing. </p></div>

Q: What is considered a structural issue in a house?

• <div><p>Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my joists need replacing?

• <div><p>Sagging floors, large cracks in your walls, and uneven door frames are three signs that your floor joists need to be replaced. You may also notice squeaky floorboards, windows that no longer close correctly, and stairs that sag on either side. You'll need a structural engineer or floor contractor to confirm whether the floor joists are the true problem behind these issues. </p></div>

Q: Should subfloor be screwed or nailed?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you&rsquo;ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility. </p></div>
