"Our project started last year after getting our pool installed. My husband began building our deck, but between work and the challenges of things needing done at home, we knew that we needed help to finish our project. My husband made the call and soon I was introduced to Tyler Spinner. Meeting him for the first time I knew that he was here to show he was meant to be the one to do the job. Tyler walked around with us and listen to everything we was looking for to make our deck as we was picturing it. Moving forward within not even a week his crew was here to start their job. I cannot even begin to describe the pace they worked and the long hours to get it done as promised. I was amazed every time I stepped foot out my back door and seen how much effort they was putting their everything into making it beautiful for us. Spinner construction is a exceptional company! They took on a very big job that we started and unfortunately we couldn't finish. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Tyler Spinner and his astonishing crew. You all will forever be highly recommended by our family."

"Hired them to repair a leaking roof. Larry, Joey and Cory worked with me and kept at it until a difficult repair was completed. A great team to work with. Highly recommend them and will hire them again for future projects."

"What an incredible experience. Contacted them for siding consult, Chris from sales was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Gave us great recommendations for the design. We signed up and wow the siding was here in less than 10 days. The installers, Led by Daniel were incredible. They were courteous, friendly, neat and they were fast! You could see pride of work as they were doing the project. They were also on time each day, were there when they said they would be. AJ our project manager was awesome as well..Communicated frequently so we always knew what to expect. We are thrilled with our new home, siding is beautiful, this team is stellar! If we could give a 100 rating we would!"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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.

You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.

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.

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.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
