"DJ was professional and polite from start to finish. The morning I was looking for a job to be done he came and looked at it and gave me a quote. He gave me the time frame he could have the job done and he stuck to his word. His work is meticulous. He cleaned everything up when he was done and left nothing behind. I have already given his number out to a couple people. It's very hard to find somebody as hard working and professional as this person. He gets five stars all the way around. I needed boards replaced on my deck."

"When using contractors, I thoroughly research those companies who contact me for the possible estimates. On Home Advisor, I posted for estimates for popcorn ceiling removal. Richard Elliot from Select Painting Services immediately responded. I cannot praise his 5 Star family owned company enough. Mr. Elliot arrived on time, prefaced with a text that he was on his way. He discussed quite honestly the upfront the costs and tasks entailed with what I needed. Mr. Elliot must have stayed over 90 minutes or so constructing a viable option for my home project that some contractors would have considered too small to even take on. He wrote up the contract, reviewed it fully for my understanding, set the date, and negotiated a reasonable deposit for the project. Tony also arrived on time, prefaced with a phone call and text that he was on his way on the agreed upon date (which was only 2 days later). Tony worked diligently for 2 days straight without even taking a break in order to complete the job in a timely fashion. He was polite, considerate, and professional. He consulted Richard Elliot when running into issues, and even stayed 2 hours over the second day in order to complete the job as agreed upon. I am overjoyed with the results. The finished project is extremely well done by a company who others may not have even considered, much less completed with this much attention and detail. If you are searching for painting, ceiling, or any other project, you would be mistaken to not contact Select Painting Services."

"Once again, Hillside exceeded our expectations with their work ethic, skill, precision and innovative idea platform. Donald cast an idea after seeing our family struggle with an inadequate front entrance, then designed the plan and built it according to specifications agreed upon by my husband. It is beautiful and functional, well worth the investment into our home. I would recommend Hillside to anyone who chooses to have a project to remember that will last for years to come."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

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.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
