"Christian is very conscientious about what he is doing, does a good job and cleans up afterwards. Quite a bit of the work he did was when we were gone so I'd leave him a key. He is very trustworthy."

"We chose Revive Renovators over multiple other contractors to do our complete kitchen remodel, and we easily made the right choice! James, Randy, and the team performed the remodel as bid and quoted and delivered exactly what we envisioned. They stayed on schedule, within budget, and provided exceptional quality of workmanship. The large scale and complexity of the project was not a problem for this team. Please check out the pictures to truly appreciate the job they did! The dark kitchen pictures are the before and the lighter, larger images are the after. I would 100% recommend them and consider them my go-to contractor for any home repair and renovation needs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.

Costs depend on carport size, wood type, complexity of design, and labor for custom features. They typically start at $3,000 and extend beyond concrete thresholds.
