"To say Chris and his team of expert carpenters "repaired and replaced" our sad, worn out deck is an understatement. What was a neglected deck of age is now a refreshed deck and boardwalk ready to welcome (safely) our neighbors, friends and family to enjoy the upcoming warm seasons lakeside. Chris and his team completed the project on time and on budget (with a few exceptions to uncovering unknown water damage - and even so, being very reasonable for the extra costs and labor). We would absolutely trust Chris and his team to do it all again, and so should you. Thanks, Chris!"

"I recommend that everyone goes with House Doctors for their home repair/improvement projects. The manager and technician were professional, knowledgeable, and respectful! David was on time, and did an awesome job with my porch; he even cleaned after... just too smooth of a process! I'll see them in a couple of weeks to assemble my pergola!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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’t have traditional framing.
