What is wall framing?

• <div><p>Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. </p><p>Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of framing a window opening?

• <div><p>The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you&rsquo;ll pay for materials plus labor costs&mdash;anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-material-types.htm">type of window framing material</a>.</p></div>

Q: Should subfloor be screwed or nailed?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you&rsquo;ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility. </p></div>

Q: What should I do if I missed the stud?

• <div><p>There are a few options if you miss a stud. You can simply patch the hole with spackle, sand it down, repaint it, and then find the stud&mdash;essentially starting over. If you don&rsquo;t want to do that, you can insert one of the more robust drywall anchor options and hang your item on that, but that will only work if the drywall is in excellent condition and the anchor is rated for the weight of the item you&rsquo;re hanging on it. You may be able to cover the hole with the object itself once it&rsquo;s mounted, but it&rsquo;s still recommended to at least fill the hole to protect insulation and prevent vermin from entering. </p></div>

Q: Do repairs include re-mounting or realignment?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals re-mount and realign antennas for optimal signal reception.</p></div>
