"Although I provided the materials, the pricing for the repai was fair and honest. The workers arrived on tome and got straight to the job. The workers advised of an insect problem that I was able to take care of before they completed the job. would definitely hire them again and refer them to my friends that may need a project completed."

"We just completed a major kitchen remodel managed by Claudio Pacheco and are quite happy with the final result. We largely knew what we wanted, but also depended on Claudio’s knowledge and input. And it made a big difference. Claudio is cool, calm, and collected, and this was valuable, as during the work problems did arise. Now these issues were related to the old construction of our house, and were discovered in the course of the work (i.e., faulty wiring, out-of-date plumbing and ventilation, uneven foundation). Anyway, he managed to correct it all, to our relief. Claudio and his team were invariably polite and helpful, and most importantly competent. We were especially impressed by Luis (carpentry),Will (electrician), and Marcos (tiling). Pacheco Contracting may not be the least expensive for remodeling/construction. But as the saying goes, “you can pay a little more now, or pay a lot more later.”"

"Vendor answered his phone. Set up an appointment to visit the repair site. Arrived on time. Presented a fair estimate. Provided a written statement of work listing all particulars. Carpenter arrived on time. Worked continuously for about 10-12 hrs replacing front external steps. Board cuts created tight 45 degree picture-frame fittings. The overall work was very well done. Painting was not included. If I need add'l or new work, I will call this firm and definitely recommend them."

"Outstanding Workmanship and Professionalism! Carpenter Framing Install did an incredible job from start to finish. Their attention to detail, precision, and commitment to quality really stood out. The crew was on time, respectful of my space, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. You can tell they take pride in their craft ? the framing turned out solid, clean, and perfectly aligned. Communication was easy and transparent the whole way through, and they delivered exactly what they promised. I?d 100% recommend them to anyone who wants reliable, professional work done right the first time."

"Very well. I'm very happy with the final project. They started and finished exactly when they said they would. The crew showed up on time (usually early) every day, and the contractor came every morning to answer any questions I had, and ask for any information they needed for the day's work. Everyone respected my home and my pets. Hoping to do a kitchen remodel in the future."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.
