Q: Do services include blade sharpening?

• <div><p>Yes, many repair services include blade sharpening as part of the maintenance package.</p></div>

Q: Does a carpenter have to be licensed?

• <div><p>Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don&rsquo;t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.</p></div>

Q: Do I need special lumber for framing a house?

• <div><p>Learning <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-frame-house.htm">how to frame a house</a> includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what&rsquo;s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about finding the right lumber.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a joist and a beam in a basement?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/joist-vs-beam.htm">Joists and beams</a> are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.</p></div>

Q: How much do floor joists cost?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re just replacing a few broken or damaged joists, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 per joist. However, a complete installation for a home or room will take into account the cost of labor, which ranges from $25 to $40 per hour. Floor joist installation for an entire room, for example, can cost between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the room's size and the materials used. </p></div>
