"Had a problem with one of our pocket doors. Kyle arrived as scheduled and showed me how the problem was not with the pocket door track but with the door itself. He was able to solve the problem and made sure that the door worked properly before he left. I think it took him about 45 minutes maybe an hour as the door is heavy. I have added him into my phone in case I have some other jobs for him. I would recommend him. Nice guy."

"John and his crew were extremely professional and communicated very well. The decks and fencing quality were excellent. Pricing was very fair and allowed us to have some things within our budget that we would've had to go without with most other companies. We fully recommend Coastal Built Construction."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.

Professionals ensure precise alignment and durability, critical for structural integrity.
