"The house looks so good! I hired Keefer and his team to paint the interior of my house (1100sqft) and the results are amazing! I have an older home that needed some love and KTB came in and took care of everything. The team was friendly, polite, and professional. KTB was quick to get me on the schedule, worked efficiently, and left a clean worksite! I highly recommend KTB for your project and I will be calling them again for mine."

Small jobs welcome

"We hired Connor to help get our home ready to rent out. He repainted the entire upstairs, touched up all the molding and trim, and repaired two exterior wood posts. Connor was always professional, dependable, and easy to work with. He paid attention to the details and made sure everything was done right. The quality of his work was excellent, and the projects were completed on time. We’re moving back this summer and have already hired him again to replace our flooring, remove some walls, and help with several other projects. I would highly recommend Connor to anyone looking for quality work and someone they can trust in their home."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

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.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

When building a house, it is customary to use 16d nails that measure 3 1/2 inches in length to construct the frame. These nails are crucial in providing the necessary support and stability for structural elements like joists and studs, which ensures a sturdy framework.

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.
