"I had a very positive experience with Rost Construction this summer. During the heavy July Rains, our large skylight began leaking. I needed to get the skylight repaired as soon as possible, but was having trouble getting contractors to return my call. One contractor did come out and measured the skylight, but did not offer to correct the immediate situation until I would commit to his bid. I then called Rost construction. Jakob Rost answered the call himself and asked fact finding questions. Jakob sent out one of his associates, Jack, the next morning. After an initial review, Jack returned and found an old nail in the skylight flashing. He was able to make the repair without changing out the skylight. Of all the contractors I contacted (at least five), Rost construction was the only company that displayed a sense of urgency and a high level of competence. It is without hesitation that I recommend Rost construction for your project"

"They did an amazing job. We have the most beautiful kitchen, family room and dining room. They were very conscientious about doing the job right. We had some serious structural issues from the last contractors but they corrected all the issues and we are very pleased with the outcome. They were always on time, very honest about everything we were dealing with and concerned that everything was done to our liking. From our experience this is a company of high standards and integrity."

"There are no words to express how exceptional Dan Brown Construction is. We had an emergency with our roof and no one in the area would help us except for Dan. I have no idea what we would have done without him. Dan helped us without hesitation. Incredibly kind, professional, and the work is phenomenal. I recommend Dan Brown to everyone I know, and hope to utilize his services in the near future. Also a huge thank you to Kristen as well! You are wonderful! This company is truly exemplary! Thank you to Dan and his team! My gratitude is infinite!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.
