"From the start, Be Blessed Remodeling (Rob) was the only contractor that quoted our project who left us feeling hopeful and excited for our project to begin. We wanted to change the floor plan of our bathrooms to allow for more space in the master. While other contractors wanted to talk us out of this change, Rob improved on our idea, giving us two incredibly updated and beautiful bathrooms we now love. Both bathrooms feel spacious and Rob did it in just about four weeks. Rob was a delight to work with. His communications skills far exceeded our expectations and those of any other contractor we’ve worked with in the past. He was happy to talk us through any decisions we had yet to make and explained everything in full detail. We were able to trust him and his workers in our home while we were away some days. We were even pleasantly surprised by how well he and Cody cleaned up after the project was finished. We absolutely recommend Rob to anyone looking to complete a home project — large or small. We know we will be hiring him again in the future!"

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Learning how to frame a house 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’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

A cross brace for a fence gate should stretch from the top corner of the gate’s hinge side to the bottom corner of its latch side at a 45-degree angle to the bottom of the gate. This positioning distributes the bulk of the gate’s weight to the base of the post, taking pressure off the top hinge.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
