"I am a brand new homeowner who contacted several pros to get a quote on repairing a 15 year old wooden fence that was falling apart. I sent Jason with Overhead Construction a couple pictures of the problem areas and he stopped by the next day to take a look for himself. Following this, he sent me a written estimate with an affordable price on the project. We scheduled the repair and he came out and fixed it up in just a couple of hours, while also doing another add-on project for me. Overhead Construction has great customer service, flexibility to fit your schedule, and competitive pricing. I can’t recommend them enough!"

"These guys did an exceptional job. They were on time every day and worked very hard. Also, they were very professional and courteous. They painted the exterior of our home, repaired some wood trim and painted/re-screened our back porch. They cleaned up and left no mess. We would definitely hire them again."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

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.

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.
