"This review is long overdue! We had the pleasure of working with Robert on renovating our new house from top to bottom almost a year ago, and we are still thrilled with the results. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to quality has created a deep trust in Robert. He is top of our list and we have recommended him and his team to all our family and friends. We knew he would be a good fit from the initial consultation. Roberto managed everything with care and great attention to detail. Robert and his team executed our vision so well and everyone who has been over have showered us with compliments at how good everything looks. Throughout the renovation Roberto maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated at every stage. They were always punctual, courteous, and willing to answer any questions we had. His team was respectful of our home and ensured that the worksite was clean and organized at the end of each day. The quality of workmanship has proven to be outstanding and the custom work will last us for years to come. Another impressive aspect of working with Roberto and team was their ability to stay on schedule and within budget. They provided a clear timeline at the beginning of the project and adhered to it, completing the work on time without any unexpected costs. Even after the project was completed, Roberto continued to provide exceptional customer service and followed up to ensure we were satisfied with the work. We highly recommend Roberto to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional contractor. Our new house is beautiful and suits us perfectly thanks to Roberto and his team!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

Not all wood that’s been softened by termites needs to be replaced. You may be able to salvage wood using a wood hardener instead of replacing beams. However, you’ll need to hire a structural engineer to assess the damage and the overall stability of the wood before making a replacement plan.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

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—essentially starting over. If you don’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’re hanging on it. You may be able to cover the hole with the object itself once it’s mounted, but it’s still recommended to at least fill the hole to protect insulation and prevent vermin from entering.  

Call a foundation repair pro to replace a rotted support beam. Your contractor will likely install temporary support to the area while replacing the beam with new wood or steel. Load-bearing elements of your home—such as the horizontal beams that run along your floors, walls, roof, and ceilings—should be inspected by a trained structural engineer. Call these experts the moment you detect rot, water damage, or foundation issues in your home.
