"Chris was extremely professional and very skilled at his trade. He completed the work within 2 days of our first contact and kept excellent communication about costs, time of arrival for first consultation and date of service. The projects were challenging and he did incredible carpentry. He was very good at keeping the area clean and respectful of my home. We have already discussed additional work that he will do on the house. I am excited to work with him again and recommend him without reservation. He is a breath of fresh air for someone to really work with a homeowner!"

"We recently hired Built Right Construction to build a 10' x 24' deck, and the results are absolutely gorgeous. From the start, Steve was fantastic to work with—he was always easy to reach and took the time to explain every step of the process. ​What also set them apart was their help with the 'behind-the-scenes' work; they drafted the drawings for our permit documentation and coordinated all the necessary inspections. The project was completed right on time and at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Steve and his team for anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and a seamless experience."

"The owner of this business offered a fair price and took extra care to make sure the home improvement job was done properly. When he realized that the casing around our door frames was no longer available, he took the time to visit several related stores and found a close substitute. Of course, that meant he needed to replace the entire door frames so all sides would match. We appreciate that extra effort. He is a talented carpenter with good customer service skills. Occasionally, he had scheduling conflicts, but kept us informed."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Removing a load-bearing wall affects the structural integrity of your home, so you’ll need a permit before starting the work. Building codes vary by municipality, and obtaining a permit and having the work inspected after completion will ensure you’re in compliance with all applicable regulations.

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.

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.

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.
