Additional DBA - Choice Cabinetry.

"They got there quickly and fixed everything. Storm door was closing and latching again. The siding was a last minute ask and he went up and secured it back in place."

Roof Recovery LLC is a single member LLC committed to giving the customer quality work at fair price. My name is Tom and I have been roofing for 27 years. After working for many different companies I decided to start my own LLC who is dedicated to honesty and integrity. I keep it simple. No salesman, no sub contractors. I will not try and sell you something you don't need. A small crew and little overhead means better rates for my clients. Same material, same warranties as the big guys. After being in the trade for decades I've seen so many people get taken advantage of by huge roofing outfits. Stick with an honest contractor who is here to help you. I realize a new roof is a big investment and try my best to be as fair as possible and still be profitable. Small job? I make time for every job and WILL RETURN YOUR CALL! Hire a straight shooter. You and your wallet wont regret it. That's my guarantee. See what my clients are saying . www.roofrecoveryllc.com 484.374.2557

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet. 

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.

Building a barndominium means converting a barn into a house. Barndominiums are becoming popular as spacious and stylish alternatives to typical housing structures. Old barns that become houses traditionally consist of wooden construction. However, newer structures, such as pole barns, often contain metal exteriors and roofs. Converting a metal outbuilding into a house presents an excellent opportunity to create a barndominium from metal.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

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.
