"Joe and Brian worked together well as a team. They were professional and courteous working thru rain and hot weather. They brought the staircase up to code as it passed inspections. New staircase is solid and looks great. Definitely recommend HD Finished Carpentry."

"We recently hired ZVL Contracting LLC to install our new patio, and the results were outstanding. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to quality. The entire process was smooth and well organized. Communication was excellent, the crew arrived on time, and they kept the work area clean and safe throughout the project. They paid close attention to every detail and took pride in their workmanship, ensuring that the finished patio exceeded our expectations. The quality of the installation is exceptional. The patio is not only beautiful but also built with precision and care. It has completely transformed our outdoor space and has already become a favorite gathering place for family and friends. What impressed us most was the team’s dedication to customer satisfaction. They listened to our ideas, answered all of our questions, and made sure we were happy with every aspect of the project. I highly recommend ZVL Contracting L"

"Very professional job stairs were done to code I was also impressed with their solution for a post coming down in a parking lot. They put it at an angle into the building with a go plate at the bottom, anchoring it in my hand fence came out gorgeous. They were timely and very clean about the job I appreciate their work. The job was well done."

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.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

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. 

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Framing most homes takes anywhere between five and eight weeks to complete. You’ll need to account for inclement weather conditions, material shipment times, the number of crew members, and the weight of your materials. If the weather is too hot, wet, or cold for the installation, this process could take closer to eight weeks.
