"I Deeply appreciate Doug responding to my complicated gutter repair problem left the unfinished by former roofer contractor. Doug assessed the problem and made the necessary repairs which took more than one visit. He willingly returned to tweak additional issues at no extra cost. I definitely recommend Doug and the work he does. BJM"

"Drake and Vincent did a fantastic job sanding the treads, the banister, and the landing of my staircase! The staircase has an elegant design so it was crucial that the sanding be done by highly skilled and detailed oriented carpenters: Drake and Vincemnt both proved to be just that! The staircase looks amazing! Throughout the whole process they were reliable and knowledgeable, and they kept me posted on how the project was going from start to finish. I would definitely hire them again!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, 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.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

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

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.
