"Kirsten with Cannon Carpentry & Handyman Services assisted us with the framing & finishing portion of our custom camper van build. He was attentive to our vision & knowledgeable about what materials and tools were necessary. He worked efficiently and focused on the details that really add up when you’re working with a small, irregular space. I would absolutely trust Cannon Handyman with any of my home projects and builds. Their level of professionalism and skill is unmatched!"

"Alex is an absolute craftsman! I've had him build me a large Bookshelf and cabinet along with two bunkbeds and some other smaller items. His finished product is better than anything I could find in a store. As a pilot for 28 years, he knows how to pay attention to every little detail of your project and actually goes above and beyond expectations. His pricing is very fair. I will use him for everything I need going forward. Can't recommend him enough."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.
