Customers say: True professional

"Art did three projects for us, built our log cabin, remodeled a bathroom in another house and finished a walk out basement in the log cabin a few years after building. Can’t say enough good things about Art and his crew. All work was outstanding in quality, things were done on time and on the schedule agreed to. Art was a wonderful communicator and super knowledgeable about all things construction and design. He thoroughly explained how any changes would affect the project, i.e. materials, time and cost. Site was cleaned up every day. All in all three wonderful building experiences - a rarity these days in our experience. Pricing was also very competitive and well worth every penny."

"Billy was quick to get us on his schedule. He did an amazing job cleaning the yard, and bringing it to a place that is manageable and ready for next steps-lawncare. He laid mulch, removed debris left by previous owners, cleaned out gardens, trimmed trees/bushes, cut grass, and whatever else was necessary. He worked hard from beginning to end. I highly recommend him!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’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.

For a professional carpenter, installing a window seat can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on some aspects of the project. Aside from building the seat itself, if they have to remove any cabinets, shelves, or baseboards, that will add time to the project.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects.
