"We bought our first home this year and absolutely love it, but we quickly learned it needed more TLC than we realized. We could see rot on our exterior trim and clapboards, plus a missing gable vent. From the very beginning, Shawn impressed us. His estimate was incredibly thorough, and it was clear he’s a true professional. As new homeowners, we felt confident putting our home in his hands. We are so fortunate we hired him. Shawn showed up early, worked late, and demonstrated meticulous attention to detail in everything he did. When we discovered the rot was far more extensive than we thought, he never made us feel stressed or overwhelmed—he walked us through our options, offered solutions, and helped us make the right decisions for our home. The quality of his work speaks for itself, but just as important, his communication, reliability, and integrity made the experience exceptional. We will be working with Shawn for all of our home’s needs. We actually missed him when he left ! "

"Torin and Jack were so easy to work with, and they did an excellent job with our basement. It?s clear that Torin is very passionate about his company and the work that they do. We had to re-finish our basement after a pipe burst, and Torin made it easy to meet the requirements of our insurance agency. He provided all of the paperwork we needed in a timely manner, and was able to recreate our previous setup to the satisfaction of the insurance company. We also appreciated Torin and Jack?s flexibility with our schedule. They were very communicative and always let us know when they had openings ahead of our scheduled sessions so that we could continue to make progress on the build. We felt very comfortable with them in our home so often had them come while we were at work. Torin was very easy to work with and we highly recommend his company and will be using them again for future projects. Bonus - Torin and Jack both like dogs, and were super sweet to our pup! She loved having them "

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off.
