"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."

"I have to say that Boyce and his crew were amazing from the very beginning until the finish. All the other contractors I had come out asked me what I wanted to do and Boyce assessed the situation with my deck and told me what we needed to do. I had two other contractors from angis list out and neither even considered these things that needed to be addressed. Once we discussed all estimates and contractors Boyce and Gault services was the one to go with. Now that the project is complete we couldn’t be more satisfied with the work they did. I can honestly tell you that not one contractor would have done remotely close To what they did. It is an amazing job and we are extremely happy!"

"I recently hired BYBD Construction for drywall repair in my home, and I couldn?t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, punctual, and detail-oriented. They not only fixed the damaged areas seamlessly but also made sure the walls looked brand new?no uneven spots, no visible seams, just a flawless finish. The crew kept everything clean throughout the process and made sure I was happy with the work before wrapping up. It?s rare to find a company that takes this much pride in their craftsmanship, and BYBD Construction definitely delivered. I?ll be calling them again for future projects without hesitation."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

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.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
