Q: How far apart should studs be when framing?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to turn a carport into a garage?

• <div><p>Depending on your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-carport.htm">carport's configuration</a>, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it&rsquo;s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it&rsquo;s best left to the professionals. </p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a window seat?

• <div><p>You may need a permit to install your window seat. Even though it's an indoor modification, some municipalities require permits for any built-ins added to homes. Check with your carpenter or, if you're DIY-ing, do some research on your city's requirements.</p></div>

Q: Are ceiling joists load-bearing?

• <div><p>Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they&rsquo;re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. </p></div>

Q: Is framing a basement challenging?

• <div><p>While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That&rsquo;s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation. </p></div>

I hired Edmonds Contracting to repair some deck railings, add new stair railings to my deck and replace some rotted trim around two pillars in the front of my house. He came to my house totally unprepared for any carpentry, using an angle grinder to cut the wood. This left the tops of the posts...

Fred had to re-wire part of the garage (expected, but not to that extent) and do a little carpentry (unexpected), yet came pretty close to the original estimate of $150. I purchased the light separately for about $50. Good job for a fair price.

The process went very well. Because the season of spring was upon us, Greg's schedule was tight so additional days were needed for unanticipated carpentry work.
