"We hired Matt to put in a new paver patio with a trex landing and staircase in our backyard. He did a great job; our space is now usable and looks beautiful. We have gotten so many compliments! He gave us great suggestions when we werenâ t sure exactly what we wanted. He was on time, professional, clean, and just a really nice guy! We highly recommend him."

"Mitch with Bend Labor Trade build our family a very nice fence a few months ago. He did such a good job that we asked if he would be willing to finish a few more things around the house. He hung a very sentimental old door that we brought with us from our first home. Everything was perfect!"

"Ian was fabulous to work with! He replaced the lattice skirting around the front and back of my second home in Eagle Crest. He maintained communications throughout the project and reached out to me regularly to discuss issues that surfaced during the project. Ian is also very professional in his documentation including providing pictures of the project. I highly recommend Ian and will request his services again."

"Demren did a fantastic job repairing & replacing a glass pane in our antique cabinet. This is a cabinet which is extremely to our family and three of the individuals that contacted me about the job turned it down because they were not sure they could accomplish this correctly. Demren came to the house right away to look at the job, Accomplished the repair in a short amount of time and did an excellent job. We took his card and will be using him again in the future for building and fixing other needs around our home."

"Joe stained my deck last fall and I waited until now to review in order to see how it looked after the winter elements impacted the stain. Looks great. The last company that stained it used something inferior that actually washed off over the winter and the same exact thing happened with that company the year before that ! Wasn't going to let them waste my money a third time. Joe had the best price of 4 quotes and did a nice job with top-notch stain. Also did not leave the back gate wide open as the previous guy's helper did. Hope Joe never leaves Bend; only person I trust now."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

Stick frames, metal frames, or prefabricated concrete frames are included in framing a house, along with creating the framework and space for windows, doors, and entryways. Other aspects of developing a home—like drywall, insulation, windows, doors, and more—are not included in the cost to frame a house.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
