"ET construction worked on our cottage this summer. ET replaced our old ceilings with knotty pine panels and upgraded our lights to ceiling fans. Also added more outlets. Also replaced outside siding. They were great to work with and efficient. I would recommend them. It’s hard to find someone that you can trust."

"Felipe and his workers were AMAZING in finishing my basement. I had a botch job from a previous contractor and failed inspection. Felipe and his workers came to the rescue, way above my expectations. They are extremely detail oriented. They are big on customer service. I rarely write any positive reviews. Moving forward myself and all my referrals would be using this company."

Unfinished Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

The average cost of DIY window framing is about $40 to $60 in materials. If you hire a window treatment professional, you’ll pay for materials plus labor costs—anywhere from $250 to $800 per window. The final cost is highly dependent on the window size, as larger windows are heavier and more difficult to install, as well as the type of window framing material.

If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.
