"Artie is excellent. He has done multiple projects for me from building shelves, to repairing the deck, painting, and residing the garage. He knows what he’s doing, can provide clear options and guidance, and is fairly priced. He’s also a delightful human being."

"In terms of what they could get done in three hours, they were pretty damn amazing. I had a door kicked in and they repaired the frame while preserving the (very nice) door, and the guys themselves were positive and friendly. Would recommend for a similar repair to anyone."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
