Customers say: Quality work

"We just completed a deck replacement with Andy at our home. It looks fantastic! But even better than that, Andy has been the easiest contractor to work with! He comes when he says! His price is so fair, and there’s no hidden costs that pop up. He is completely transparent regarding everything and his work is impeccable. I truly can’t say enough nice things about him- if you hire him ask for references because every customer has the same experience!"

"Kevin from Smooth as Silk arrived ahead of time to install our garbage disposal and replace the kitchen faucet. Before starting, he explained how he would complete the work without disturbing the existing electrical installation. Kevin’s pricing was reasonable, and he took the time to explain how my elderly parent can use the disposal safely and efficiently. I appreciate Kevin’s attention to detail, professional care for our appliances and clear communication!"

Carpentry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
