"Just needed a couple of outside faucets replaced. After spending weeks trying to find a plumber who would actually do the work, found Doyleâ s Home Carpentry on Home Advisor and what a find. On site at time promised, cost for the job much less than competitors estimates, no surprises, and the work was great. Already discussing additional work."

"Tim arrived right on time and gave me a more than reasonable price. He required virtually no supervision and assembled three large, complex furniture pieces including one with electrical components in a relatively short amount of time. He even helped me carry the pieces to the second floor and put them into place. I then asked if he could look at two electrical problems I had, one inside, one out. He fixed both in a matter of moments and went on his way. Would I hire him again? I asked him to consider a rather complex carpentry project and he said he'd investigate the needed materials and get back to me. In short, you be hard pressed to find a more capable, skilled and affordable handy man than Tim."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

Bump-out additions can extend anywhere from 2 to 15 feet from an existing room. The right size will depend on how you plan to use the new space. For a cantilever bump-out, which doesn't require additional foundation support, the limit is typically 24 inches (2 feet). If a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can be much larger, even encompassing a whole room. It's also important to remember that many residential properties have limits on the total house size relative to the lot size.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

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.
