"I started a DIY project replacing the tread-boards on the front exterior stairway to my house. Once started, I found the stringers (boards that support the treads) were split and pulling away from the house. Now the project was over my head, and I found Mark and IHS Construction through Angi. Mark arrived the following business day to provide an estimate and was able to squeeze my project in the same week. He and his team worked a long day to completely retrofit the staircase with new stringers, treads, and kick-boards while saving the original handrails and balusters. I couldn't be happier with his professionalism, craftmanship, and responsiveness. Five stars!!!"

"My husband is no longer able to do the maintenance on our house, or advise me. There was rotting trim wood, that needed to be replaced, at the roofline of our house. I contacted Angie on a Sunday nite. The next day owner Roland called me, we met the next day. He was able to fit in the needed repairs 1 day later and take a piece of wood to the paint store to match the color. The result looks perfect!!"

"Danny was friendly, professional, courteous about rescheduling and did a fantastic job hanging blinds on 24 windows in my new home. He also cleaned up all of the boxes, which was an added bonus! I would hire Danny for any house project needs."

"I would definitely recommend Read construction as he was very detail oriented and did a great job with our tile and was proficient in plumbing. It did take longer than expected but we got everything done just in time. Thanks for everything Lance!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—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 type of window framing material.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.
