"Touched by God is a very professional business with highly skilled carpenters. The work they did to install custom molding, trim, door casings, and picture frames really transformed our home. What was a 20 year old home is now a beautifully updated home. Diego and his team really worked with us to achieve everything we wanted and then some â - all within committed timeframes."

"Willie is just amazing!!! Totally blown away with the whole experience and quality of his companies work! He was quick to respond to my multiple questions and was a pleasure to talk to! Him and his partner went ABOVE and beyond! I had a list of things to get done for a local move. They unmounted and remounted my 60 inch TV, broke down and reassembled my adjustable bed frame(Which was huge and friggen heavy), put together big furniture cabinet, Took apart an old wooden bed frame and hung curtains rods for my bedroom windows. They were fast, efficient, friendly, informative and very reasonably priced! This guy does it all so if you need a task completed call Willie! 10 out of 10! HIGHLY RECOMMEND"

"Eddie came with a partner and they did a beautiful job. Immaculate work. I found no fault what so ever. He had to raise the cabinets and then repair and paint the wall. He was here exactly when he said he would be here for both the estimate and the job. He does great follow up and has a great work ethic. He is just such a joy to work with."

"E A D Home Improvements was the best decision that my wife and I made to accomplish our roofing job. Although we had gotten a number of estimates from other contractors, E A D came in with the best offer, without cutting corners, for the money. They will beat any estimate and will NOT force any other unnecessary work on you just to make extra money. When Ernie Duffy came over, he explained the entire job in terms which were clear and concise. The contract was written in a way which was easily understandable and he explained everything. He was here from start to finish; when the shingles arrived, during complete tear off and installation, during clean up ( which was immaculate ), when the new gutters were installed and even when the dumpster got picked up to be sure that the driveway was cleaned under the dumpster. He even stopped by a week later to see if we were completely satisfied with the job and if we had any issues. His crew were true professionals, not day laborers looking to make a quick buck. Clean up, again, was immaculate. The day after the job was completed, I raked my lawn in preparation to put down fertilizer and found only 2 nails between the front and back. They worked from the time they got here until quitting time and the job was completed in 1 1/2 days. This company is truly a professional business and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any home improvement job that you may have. We can only give 5 stars, but I give them 10++. Thanks E A D Home Improvements, and you Ernie, from an extremely satisfied customer."

"We hired Home Masters through Angi's and couldn't be happier. Our concrete porch was pitted and cracked, and our front step was not ADA compliant and difficult to use, since I'm disabled. Jim was a pleasure to work with, and his experience was evident from our first meeting. His crew started the project exactly as promised, and the finished job couldn't look nicer. The men cleaned up all the debris, and you'd never guess that there had ever been a mess. I've never had such pleasant experience with any contractor as I did with Jim. I highly recommend Home Masters."

"We started out with a budget just for the kitchen to repaint the kitchen cabinets, replace the flooring with porcelain tiles, redo the peninsula, use quartz for the counter tops, add recess lighting, and center the lighting fan. Into the job, based on Harvey's excellent advice, we decided to get new kitchen cabinets, have Harvey and his team build storage cabinets above the new cabinets instead of having a soffit built in that open space. We also had a pantry rebuilt by Harvey and his team as well. Lastly we had the peninsula changed to an island with cabinets added underneath as well. Also, we decided to redo the small (powder) bathroom on the main floor. Harvey and his team were awesome. He was very patient in allowing us to make changes to the original plans that turned out quite outstanding. His team always showed up early for work. The quality of the work was simply outstanding. Instead of half doing things like what we got with the Home Depot contractors in years prior, Harvey and his team took things back to the studs and made sure the things were built the right way. I now feel very confident about what is behind the walls and how the work was done. I will attached pictures of the kitchen and bathroom by next week. We are still putting things back into the new cabinets now and etc. We are extremely happy with the work Harvey and his team did. We intend to use them for a few other projects in the future. If you're really thinking about having work done on your home, I would highly recommend that you speak with Harvey to have his team come to do an amazing job for you as well. He will work with you on to provide competitive pricing. In the end it's all about quality work that you can feel great about. We feel great!!!!!!! :)"

"Henry contacted me immediately once I put my request through, even though it was Sunday. We made an appointment for that same Sunday afternoon, he saw what had to be done, gave me a very reasonable estimate and went to work right away. Very professional, open minded and friendly. We scheduled more repairs for next week, which I hadn’t planned, due to his likable, friendly and professional demeanor. I would Highly recommend him to anyone needing home repairs."

"I hired Aztec for major repairs due to termite damage. They were prompt, professional, and easy to work with. They came in less than 10 days after we contacted them to FINISH the work. First, they evaluated the damage and walked me through the needed repairs which included placing three new steel support beams along with two main horizontal wood beams and several sistered beams. They were able to complete the work, once they started, in three days. At each step, I was informed of progress and there were no surprises (from my end). The work included everything from removing electrical wiring and then replacing it, pouring the new steel vertical support beams, affixing them solidly into my concrete floor, and then pacing the numerous horizontal beams. I could not recommend AZtec (and Greg!) more."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
