"The owner, Mike Patterson was very professional and personable. Arrived on time and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. I was planning on having his company complete the work but due to unforeseen circumstances, we decided to wait. Once we are ready, we will be calling him back."

"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."

"Carson is a wonderful carpenter and very professional. He's careful and exacting in his work, and always kept me informed on the schedule. Once he started the job he worked until it was done which I really appreciate. He also had great ideas and was adaptable to my plans. I highly recommend him for any project."

"Freeman Repair and Remodel was very professional from start to finish. From the initial consultation wherein we discussed and finalized an overall design/construction plan to the final execution, Derek and his team came every morning and worked all day until the project was complete. I would hire them again in an instant!"

"Jack Ross the owner was great to deal with. He had a great crew, headed up by James, that came out and repaired our front porch and back deck. They did some interior drywall repair around a shower and a tub and replaced 2 transom windows, as well. In addition, they replaced some interior trim and did some paint touch up. They were in and out promptly. They were friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend them. Excellent job!!!!"

"I had lots of damaged cement fiber siding on my home and I’m so glad I found LITN. Joe took as much time as necessary to understand what my siding issue was and came up with a repair plan that included replacement of a large amount of siding and painting the whole home. The team did a great job with the repair and the paint job left my neighbors envious of the home’s high quality new look. This home looks better than it was built. I’m so thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend LITN. There is a reason they have a high rating and they deserve it."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

The cost to frame a 2,000-square-foot house can fall anywhere between $14,000 and $32,000. This price can increase or decrease depending on what type of framing you choose, the quality of the materials, the project's complexity, and whether you decide to hire a professional to do the job.

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.

Duration varies by project size, but average-sized homes typically take a weeks.

When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.
