"The project went very smoothly. I now have a beautiful bathroom, master closet and deck. Everything turned out perfectly. I would highly recommend Dover. Everyone is so professional and great!"
The sunporch easily accommodates both outdoor conversation seating and dining sets. Finishing the comfortable indoor/outdoor living space, electrical wiring provides power for the ceiling fan and can lights above, with additional outlets for a TV, speakers and other items—everything the homeowners need to enjoy a fresh, inviting living area.
The sunporch addition was designed for easy living at every touchpoint: Sturdy, lightweight framing materials create the gabled roof and side panel construction, including maintenance-free aluminum posts capped in vinyl, so there’s no paint to touch up or chipping to worry about long-term.
Because the homeowners wanted an unobstructed view and ventilation for their firepit table, screens are run from floor to ceiling along the walls. Added screened entry doors on both sides provide easy access to the room from the yard and adjoining patio.
The new sunporch is a large, open-air living space (11' x 14') with floor-to-ceiling screened panels for excellent ventilation and unrestricted views with a full room for protection.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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. 

If the bowing basement wall is less than 2 inches, steel or carbon fiber straps are the best solution. For bowing that is more than 2 inches, wall anchors are the most effective. A contractor can help you decide the best method of repair for your home's foundation and also address the root cause of the trouble.

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.

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.
