"Abel came to quote the job. He was the first guy I saw for my two porches. He quoted me a price after measuring and figuring. I was initially stunned, but he explained the reasons (the price of materials and gas and labor has hit the handyman business like everything else). Abel is a personable fellow. I didn't need to see anyone else. Our porches were in sore need of repair. It was getting to a place that we were worried that someone might go through the decking and be injured. I didn't need fancy. I needed SOLID. Abel came back with Tom and they did a great job on my front porch. Neighbors are jealous. The postman made positive comments. It looks great and I could park my car on it. It's EXACTLY what we needed. Abel explained as they went what they were doing and why they were doing it that way. Abel and Tom even gave me pointers for tackling projects I intended to do myself. If you want a communicative contractor, who doesn't leave you in the dark. Abel and his team of guys are the guys you want."

"LV Building Solutions did a fantastic job building a screened in porch on my deck. I couldn’t be happier! Benito provided options and was creative in making this project the best end result for me. He was easy to communicate with and was professional, timely and his price was fair. I would highly recommend him and would absolutely use him again!"

"Chad did an excellent job with the small repairs around our home. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and clearly knowledgeable about his work. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, completed everything efficiently, and made sure the job was done right the first time. We really appreciated his attention to detail and how respectful he was of our home throughout the process. It’s not always easy to find someone you can trust for quality work, but Chad definitely delivered. We’ll absolutely be calling him again for any future repairs or maintenance needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

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.
