"Wilber's Painting did a fantastic job painting the exterior of my home. I own a 1926 Sears & Roebuck Kit house. The house is the Osborn kit model and has exquisite detailed wood exterior moldings. The house is part asbestos, part stucco and part wood. Wilber's painters did a magnificent job paying very close attention to each and every detail. Wilber's replaced rotted wood. Wilber's repaired damaged areas. The painters evenly, thoughtfully and generously applied the paint to the house in painstaking detail. The painters were friendly, kind and professional. Wilber guarantees his work and personally came to the home to review the job. Wilber's painting is really an excellent choice if you're painting your house -- interior or exterior. I highly recommend!"

"Ardian and his guys were great. I had part of an existing wall cut out and an extension to my concrete walkway installed. Ardian checked off all the boxes when looking for someone to complete this project : excellent, timely work at a great price, pays attention to detail and the customers concerns. You really can't ask for more. I highly recommend Home Line Construction, LLC."

"It was an absolute pleasure working with GST Carpentry and Lester! Lester was dedicated to ensuring my dining room vision was brought to life. His work exceeded all of my expectations. I could not recommend this company enough! From start to finish all of the details were discussed with me. Lester sent photo updates throughout the day so I could see the progress. He even went above and beyond to leave my home clean after finishing for the day."

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
