"Nunez’s team did a fantastic job! We are super happy with everything! They are reasonable and the quote I received didn’t change. They also cleaned up when they finished the project (mopping and dusting). We have other projects and will definitely be hiring Nunez. I highly recommend. I highly recommend this contractor."

"It all went fantastically well. The contractor we'd originally hired flaked out on us four days before the renovation was supposed to start. We found George through Angie's List, and he came over to see what we wanted done. Working off the original contractor's list of tasks, he gave us his price and told us he could start in two weeks. He and his co-worker Dennis took care of all the work on time and on budget. They always showed up when they said they would, or called if they were going to be delayed. They kept us up-to-date on their progress, and always addressed any concerns we had about how things were going. They did a really good job throughout. We're hoping to renovate the next floor up next year, and will definitely be calling them again!"

"Best contractors we have ever worked with. We will definitely use them for anything we need in the future. Every single day, they showed up, ON TIME like clockwork, and worked hard. I can’t say that for other companies we have worked with. Now I realize how bad the other companies were! Finished on schedule (3-4 weeks). Very friendly crew, easy to work with. Everything was “no problem.” :) Gave my husband and I piece of mind. They know what they’re doing, and even though we kept piling on projects after the initial work was started, they still finished within the original time alotted. Really, really good guys."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Metal stud framing parts include the studs themselves, upper and lower tracks that act as top and bottom wall plates, various angle fasteners and clips, screws for fastening pieces togeher, metal straps, c-channel supports, and thicker steel supporting structures. Roof framing metal components include pre-fabricated trusses, heavy-gauge stud pieces, and various plates and fasteners.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
