"Work was done very professionally with great attention to detail and absolutely no shortcuts were taken. The carpenter assigned to the job, Steve, built the deck as if it were being done at his own home. We have received many compliments on the looks and integrity of the new Trex deck. Township inspections were passed with no discrepancies found. Building codes were followed to the T. We are exceptionally happy with this project."

"It went without surprises, we were happy with the quality of the work, and we have scheduled Frank to come back and give an estimate for some additional ceiling work in our garage, as he noticed splits in other ceiling seams were showing, and they probably should have screws (rather than only nails) attaching them to the wood above them."

"We had a major water leak from our air conditioning system which damaged our laminate flooring as well as our drywall ceiling and a few walls. We contacted IPS, who provided fast service. They promptly came out to repair the flooring as well as the drywall.  They were very skilled in their work, it was a high quality job done in an extremely professional manner. They were very courteous and personable as well. In addition to that work, they also painted our laundry room which needed painting and installed handles on our cabinets. I was extremely pleased with all of the work and would highly recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

"I had been looking to have my roof done for months. Seth Kemmerer responded to my requests and I loved he provided options. Other companies did not provide options just pushed a higher priced job. Seth was very hands on and in communicated every step of what was happening with the job. I hired their company 9/18/2020 and my roof was installed; job completed 9/21/2020. I will be using them for future work. A great experience !!!! This company rocks!!!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Framing with metal studs can be significantly faster than using wooden studs, provided you have some experience working with the material. While you can use virtually instant pneumatic nailers with wood, metal requires installing screws. However, because metal is lighter, straighter, usually comes cut-to-length, and doesn't require sorting for the best pieces, you can save significant time using metal instead of wood.

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. 

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.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.
