"As an older couple we feel more and more disappointed with the quality of service so often provided today. DLS and technician Mike were a wonderful surprise! I would call the treatment, patience, and respect we experienced extraordinary in this day. Mike took his time to place the tv at the best height for our viewing, he was extremely polite, and, for me most important, he went the extra mile to ensure that my TV, sound bar, and Apple TV unit all worked from a single remote! Highly recommend if you want what we old folks call “good old fashion service.”"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot. 

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.
