"Easy to get a quote and competitive cost. Ben communicated throughout the process and helped get the paperwork needed from the township. Together with Chris, they removed our old wood deck and replaced with Trex. Clean up was excellent. We love our new deck!"

"Joe and his crew did excellent work. The project came with some extra challenges, some rotting wood and strange window edging. But Joe and his team answered all my questions and modified the project to fit the needs. I needed some modifications for window capping and Joe was always readily available to answer all my questions and take care of any issues throughout the entire process. Iâ m impressed by the work and consideration Joe and the crew had. So impressed I started another project with them while they were here. Joe came, measured everything up and had everything taken care of in one day, what service! I would definitely recommend Joe and his team to anyone in need of a siding project!"

"Nate came on time. He was great to work with. Very willing to listen and gave good advice and I ask a LOT of questions. He did a quality, thorough job and did it very efficiently. Once I saw how quickly and well he was working, I kept trying to think up more things for him to do. "While you're here..." being the operative phrase. At first, I thought I needed to call a plumber, a drywall guy, an electrician and a carpenter. But I was wrong. I just needed to call "Mr. Handyman of Western Main Line"!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

Learning how to frame a house includes picking the right lumber for the job. Most people will want to pick pine, spruce, or fir for the framing. These types of lumber are affordable and produce sturdy framing for structures. Look for kiln-dried lumber to reduce the risk of shrinkage or insect damage after installation. As part of what’s included in framing a house when you hire a professional, the contractor should order the lumber, so you don’t have to worry about finding the right lumber.

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.

The best way to calculate framing costs is by basing your costs on the square footage of your home. On average, framing your home could cost anywhere between $7 and $16 per square foot. 

To ensure you don’t go over budget, base your estimates on the higher end of the price range. If you know you’re going to use high-end materials or require a custom or complex build, you might even want to tack on an additional 5% of your budget.

Framing a house with steel generally takes less time—around five to eight weeks—than most building materials. The steel components can also be made quickly off-site and manufactured with pre-punched holes for running piping and electrical wiring, which will lessen the prep work and extra labor during construction.
