"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."

"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."

"David Savon responded immediately to my request for a quote and came to our house the next day. Quickly determined the solution for each situation and charged a fair price for his work (over $330 less than a quote I received the day before from another company). Based on this experience, I scheduled David to return in two weeks to handle two other projects after, again, receiving fair quotes. Professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Will recommend to others and will be the first company I contact in the future for other houesehold projects/repairs."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

New builds, remodels, and additions often necessitate professional framing expertise.

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.

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.
