"We have worked with John and his crew before, and they never disappoint. We are now living out of town and thanks to John we were able to complete work on a condo we own in a very short window of time. He is efficient, very trustable, reliable in every way and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He leads a very good crew also. In this job, they repaired drywall, replaced baseboards, added new quarter round, redid the entire flooring in the unit, painted, and they were willing to do lifting and moving furniture to accomplish this. I would rate John at 5 out of 5 in every area, and I would not use anyone else in or around Wilmington, NC. Thank heavens for his strong work ethic, and his knowledge and expertise, and his ability to organize his crew within a short time frame!"

"Luis is phenomenal. He and his team took on a problematic build that had been made a nightmare by a previous disreputable contractor. LMJ had to correct and deal with numerous errors, but did so with complete competence and a positive attitude. I can't imagine ever hiring anyone else for future construction projects. After several bad experiences with builders following Hurricane Florence, we're thrilled to have found LMJ."

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

"Chris was very nice, listened to my concerns and addressed those concerns. He arrived promptly. We reviewed the tasks I wanted done and he advised me of the time frame needed to get the job done which was considerable as I wanted all the electrical updated in my 70 year old house and detached garage."

"We've used Murphy Construction for 3 years now, on 2 different homes. Everything has been done top notch from complete remodels of garage, home office, flooring, aligning doors, replacing hardware, bathroom remodel, bathroom tiling, kitchen tiling, to roof, doors, outdoor trench and pipe, drywall, painting, electrical, plumbing. What can't they do? Far as I can tell, they can do it all. Estimates are competitive. This is a family business, everyone is easy to deal with, pleasant folks, reliable, and trustworthy. Thomas Murphy has tackled everything for us from huge headache jobs to small niggling projects that we, as homeowners just don't have the experience to do. Can't recommend them enough."

"Leo contacted me and he came out and gave me a quote. The quote was fantastic compared to others who came out. He was here when he said he would be and did an excellent job preparing the yard and the sod install. I would hire him again to do any work for me. GREAT JOB and price."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
