Precision contracting is all about remodeling and repair of your old or new structure that is in need of some attention. Anything from new siding, windows,doors,painting,staining,new fencing,new porches and decks or just replacing a few old deck boards. And even fixing that old barn on the property . It can all be done with precision by Precision... I've been involved with the carpentry industry for the majority of my life, introducing Precision Contracting to the trade within the past 4 years. My grandfather and his brothers were business men running a well known family business building homes from ground up. That is how I got my start in the trade as a young boy in what seems like "way back" in the 80s. If it's experience and quality that you prefer in a finished job, We feel the same here at Precision. Every thing is built to last with looks that match. Precisely. Give us a call for free estimates. Mon.-Fri. 8am-8pm & Sat 8am-12pm.

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project. 

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.
